Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.

Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the dry sherry, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Add the smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve the Shrimp Malaga immediately as an entrée or as an appetizer, with crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.
