This is a Spanish/Filipino appetizer - I used it as a main dish
Ingredients:
- 1 lb medium shrimp
- 1 tsp paprika
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1-2 fresh hot green chilis (I used 1 tbsp canned green chilis, still
- good)
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt (optional for paleo)
- Black ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Peel and devein the shrimp. Rinse, pat dry, and put them in a bowl. Add the paprika and toss to mix. Peel the garlic and chop finely. Chop the chilis finely. Put the oil in a wok or large frying pan and set it over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and stir fry for 30 seconds, or until it turns golden. Add the shrimp and green chilis. Stir fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn opaque all the way through. Add the salt (optional) and pepper. Toss and serve.
Note: This sounds like a lot of garlic, but it does not taste that garliky as you cook the garlic down a lot. This recipe also makes great leftovers, room temp or chilled.
