By marinating the shrimp in grated garlic and spices before adding a sautéed garlic mix into the pan, the flavor profile is intensified. Finished with sherry vinegar and fresh parsley, this dish is versatile and can serve as a standalone meal or a tapas option. The use of fresh, peeled shrimp is essential, with sherry vinegar recommended for authenticity but niwreplaced with red wine vinegar if necessary.
The key is adding garlic in two stages: marinating raw shrimp in grated garlic, then sautéing more garlic in olive oil before adding the shrimp.
Finished with sherry vinegar, fresh parsley, and black pepper, this dish transforms into an appetizer you could enjoy as a full meal.
