Come preparare

1
Pat the shrimp dry and arrange all ingredients beside the stove. Dry shrimp sear more cleanly and will not dilute the infused oil.
2
Heat 60 ml of the olive oil in a wide skillet over low heat. Add the sliced garlic and crumbled chile, then gently cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until the garlic is pale golden and fragrant but not brown.
3
Stir in the smoked paprika for 15 seconds, then pour in the sherry. Increase the heat to medium and simmer for 1 minute, scraping the base of the skillet, until the alcohol aroma softens.
4
Add the remaining 20 ml olive oil and the shrimp in a single layer. Season lightly, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 2 minutes.
5
Turn the shrimp and simmer uncovered for 1 to 2 minutes more, until opaque throughout, curled, and at least 74°C in the thickest pieces. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Slowly infusing the olive oil with garlic and chile builds a savory base before the shrimp are added; a brief covered simmer cooks them gently while sherry and paprika round out the sauce.

Conservazione e riscaldamento

Come conservarla

Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 2 days. Cool promptly and do not leave the shrimp at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

Come riscaldarla

Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat until the shrimp reach 74°C and the oil is warm, about 2 to 3 minutes. Avoid prolonged heating, which toughens the shrimp.
