Spanish Garlic Shrimp Taverna

"In Spanish tavernas, these shrimp; fragrant with garlic and olive oil; are brought to the table sizzling in a little metal pan. Have plenty of bread on hand to sop up the delicious pan juices. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired."

  1. Big flavours from a few ingredients-sometimes we overlook the simplest of things!!<br/>We love dishes like this...in fact I make something very similar with fresh chilies,garlic and lashings of ginger.<br/>This was a nice change of pace...and yes..I know everybody else has said it, but you really do need some lovely crusty bread for those juices!!
     
  2. This was quite tasty, but even though I used garlic infused oil in addition to the garlic cloves, I thought it didn't taste very garlicky. I would probably add some garlic salt to the pan next time, and there will definitely be a next time!
     
  3. super super shrimp tapas! I have tried other recipes for this but none worked like yours. Thanks so much for posting it
     
  4. Wow kiwi! This is fantastic! So quick and easy and absolutely delicious! The spices are right on! Nice little kick! I halved the recipe and should of made the whole thing. My husband was looking for more! This is going onto our menu for the holiday season. Thanks for a recipe that I will go to a lot!
     
  5. I made this for dinner tonight, with a green salad and lots of good bread. I followed the recipe exactly, except for substituting smoke paprika for regular. It was delicious, and two of us killed it!!!
