Add a photoThese prawns are absolutely fantastic. Every time I make them I marvel at the density and depth of the flavors. I typically leave the Cayenne pepper out of about half of them if I'm cooking for the whole family. I often serve these in combination with a Moroccan chicken, fish, or lamb dish, but they work fine on their own too.
Ingredientes
- 2 pounds uncooked shrimp, shelled and tails removed (large or jumbo best, but medium works too)
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1.5 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- Kosher or Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste (shrimp needs salt, so be generous)
- 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Direcciones
- Fry the garlic in olive oil over medium until it turns light gold. Add the spices, salt and pepper, and mix well with spatula.
- Add the shrimp and fry them over medium for 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly (12-15 minutes for Jumbo shrimp). Add the chopped herbs and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Serve hot on a bed of rice or of mixed green salad leaves.

This is a great and super simple recipe. If you don't have a standard fall back recipe for shrimp, this will probably be it!Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta

This was delicious. I made it with rice cooked in garlic and chicken broth. The leftovers were even better. The shrimp sitting on the rice all night with the juices soaking into the rice made for a very satisfying lunch!

I love shrimp, I love garlic, I love spicy food. This has it all! Great recipe. Even a novice like me couldn't screw it up. I served it over rice, with a Gewurztraminer from Alsace. Thanks, John.Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta2 people like this review
