Ingredients

• 500 grams Large shrimp
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 6 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 200 milliliters Tomato sauce
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 200 grams Mixed olives
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 loaf Crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the garlic shrimp: Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary. Mince 2 cloves of garlic. In a skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning once, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside in a serving dish.

Step 2

Prepare the patatas bravas: Wash and chop the baby potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Boil in salted water for 10 minutes, then drain and let them dry completely. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potatoes until golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. In a small saucepan, heat the tomato sauce and stir in smoked paprika, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the sauce over the fried potatoes and serve with a dollop of mayonnaise.

Step 3

Marinate the olives: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon zest, and fresh rosemary sprigs. Toss the olives in the mixture and let marinate for at least 10 minutes for enhanced flavor.

Step 4

Serve: Arrange the garlic shrimp, patatas bravas, and marinated olives on a large platter. Slice the crusty bread and serve alongside for dipping and scooping.
