Instructions Notes: *
Depending on the size of the shrimp, cooking times can vary. Cook until pink all the way through.
Pairings:
We paired this Spanish Garlic Shrimp recipe with Manchego Cheese Spring Mix Salad (which also is a nice Spanish tapa option). It also pairs well with just a simple arugula salad and nice bottle of dry Spanish white wine or a Sauvignon Blanc. If you are not watching your carbs, you will love dipping some crusty bread in the sauce.
Food Prep:
This recipe is quick and easy to make for a healthy weeknight meal since the amount of food prep is minimal.
