SPANISH GARLIC SHRIMP (GAMBAS AL AJILLO)

Steps:

• Slice garlic thinly. Season shrimp with kosher salt and paprika. Mix to coat.

SPANISH SHRIMP AND RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Be sure to wash and dry all the fresh produce. I am much more careful about this these days. Not sure if it's because I read more about the pesticides they are using or because I'm getting older and want to be more careful.
• Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince or better yet zest them with zester. I like using my Microplane for zesting.
• Cut the roots off the end on the scallions and then thinly slice them. Separate the white bottoms from the hollow green tops and reserve both.
• Chop the capers and medium dice the zucchini.
• Pull off the stems from the sweet peppers and toss, cut the peppers in half long ways, remove the cores and medium dice the peppers.
• In a small bowl, add the white bottoms of the scallion, diced zucchini, chopped capers, diced peppers and ¾ of the zested garlic.
• Wash the shrimp and pat try with paper towels. Remove the tails if not already done.
• Add the shrimp to a small bowl, season with salt & pepper and half the spice blend (½ tablespoon). Stir to combine ingredients.
• Heat your saute pan (frying pan), large enough to cook the vegetables and shrimp, over medium high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan and when hot, add the vegetables from the bowl. Saute for 5 minutes until the vegetables slightly soften. Stir frequently so the garlic doesn't burn.
• In the same pan as the sauteed vegetables, add the rice and stir to combine with the other ingredients.
• Add the tomato paste and the remaining ½ tablespoon of Spanish spice blend. Again, stir constantly for about a minute to combine all the ingredients.
• Add 2½ cups of water to the pan and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium or medium-low and loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil.
• Cook the rice for about 20 minutes being sure to give it a stir every once in a while. When the rice has absorbed all the water and the rice is al dente, turn off the heat and add the sherry vinegar. Stir to combine.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
• Transfer the rice to a bowl large enough to all it all and cover with the same aluminum foil to keep warm.
• While the rice is cooking, prepare the aioli by combining the mayonnaise with the remaining zested garlic.
• Season with salt and pepper, to taste and reserve to top the shrimp at the end.
• In the same pan as you cooked the rice, add a little more olive oil over medium or medium-heat and let it get hot. The reason I suggest medium OR medium-high heat is because everyone's stove top is different. I find my medium-high heat on my gas range is often too hot so I use medium heat instead.
• When the oil is hot, add the seasoned shrimp in one single layer. Let this cook for about 3 minutes without stirring and believe me you will be tempted to stir them around. After 3 minutes, stir and cook for another minute or two until they are cooked through and opaque.
• Turn off the heat and remove pan.
• Add the rice and cooked vegetables to your plates, top with the cooked shrimp, add a dollop of the aioli topping and finish with some of the sliced green tops of the scallion.
• Serve and enjoy this very easy to prepare meal. I know I will make this again and would be thrilled to serve it to guests.
