To determine when the shrimp are done-beyond looking for the characteristic pink or orange marks-check to see that the shrimp flesh has changed from translucent to opaque white. Serve this tapas-style dish with grilled bread, if desired. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
1 bay leaf |
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
4 lemon wedges |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pepper, garlic, and bay leaf; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Increase heat to medium-high. Add shrimp; sauté until shrimp have pink or orange markings and white, opaque flesh (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat. Sprinkle with salt. Discard bay leaf. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
