Spanish Tapa – Garlic Shrimp
============================
6 Tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound medium or large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons of chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt
2 Tablespoons minced parsley
Italian or French Bread cut into cubes
Heat the oil, garlic and red pepper flakes in a large, shallow pan. When the garlic just begins to turn golden, add the shrimp and cook over high heat for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the broth and lemon juice.
If serving in the living room, pour into a large earthenware bowl and sprinkle with salt and parsley. Serve immediately.
Goes great with a nice dry white wine, dry sherry, or Martini . Note: Use more chicken broth and lemon juice if you like more sauce to dip the bread into.
Oh my yes! You have to have French bread at the ready to dip in that flavorful sauce! Super recipe!
