Shrimp In Garlic Sauce Shrimp Recipes Garlic Pepper Sauce Recipes

Ingredients

c. olive oil

4 cloves garlic

1 bay leaf

1/4 tsp. dried red-pepper flakes

2 lb. large shrimp

1 1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper

3 tbsp. dry sherry

2 tbsp. lemon juice

3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the garlic, bay leaf and red-pepper flakes and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.Step 2Add the shrimp, salt and black pepper to the pan and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just done, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the sherry, lemon juice and parsley.Step 3Notes: Deveining Shrimp: Dark shrimp veins are usually removed for aesthetic purposes. We find that it’s not essential to take them out, especially if you’re pressed for time.Step 4Fish Alternatives: Squid would be delicious with the garlic sauce. Cook it quickly (for about two minutes), or it will become tough and rubbery. Sea scallops are another alternative; cook them for about two minutes per side, without stirring, so they brown nicely.Step 5Wine Recommendation: Bold Mediterranean flavors welcome an easygoing wine such as a dry rosé from Spain or the south of France. If you prefer a wine with a bit more sweetness, try a white zinfandel from California.
