tapa - spanish style garlic shrimp

 

Ingredients:

- one box 500gm of frozen Malaysia white shrimp (on sale; hence buy this) at $75; used half i.e. 250gm
- when still at frozen stage, cut off the heads and put away in fridge for later use

- place frozen shrimp in running water till it become defrosted; drained; and dried it with kitchen towel

- add some salt to marinate them, and put away in fridge for hours till tight (the 2nd time I put away marinated shrimps overnite in fridge; did not at all affect the quality when cooked the next day).

Prep:

- sliced garlic, not too thick nor thin, right thickness

- extra virgin olive oil

- fakes of dried pepper

- parsley, chopped

Cooking:

- slow heat, in the olive oil, in the garlic slices, slowing fry

- in the red pepper flakes

- in the shrimp frying for ca. 30 sec (or till done)

- and in some parsley, and it is done

NOTES 18/4/2022

- no experience; hence undercooked the shrimps !  sweetness not fully come out; and most of all, I po the next morning

- garlic; red pepper flakes; parsley - just the right taste coming out

- do a salad with apple / orange / and cooked shrimps - complimenting each other - sweetness + savoury.

NOTES 20/4/2022

- put away marinated shrimps overnite before cooking; to my surprise, quality not being affected at all.

- shrimps well cooked (or slightly over cooked !) sweetness of shrimps come out; taste wonderful.
