Gambas Al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp)

 


Chrissy Teigen's website

Ingredients

1 pound large (16-20 count) peeled, deveined shrimp

Kosher salt to taste

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

5 dried hot chilies (chilies de arbol are the most common and easiest to find)

6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

2 sprigs rosemary

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ cup dry sherry or dry white wine

Crunchy toasted bread, for serving

Directions

Pat the shrimp dry and season both sides with salt. Heat the oil in a 12-inch (or as large as you have) skillet over medium heat. Add the chilies and toast, turning often, until they deepen in color and are fragrant, 3-4 minutes; remove the pan from the heat, then remove and discard the peppers but leave the oil in the pan.

Raise the heat to medium-high heat and sear the shrimp until opaque, 45 seconds per side. Remove the shrimp to a plate.

Lower the heat to medium, add the garlic cook, stirring, until lightly golden, 1 minute. Add the sherry and cook until the liquid is reduced in half, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the rosemary and lemon juice, return the shrimp to the pan, toss coat and warm through, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste and serve with toasted bread.
