Step 1

Peel the shrimp completely, without the shells and heads, and season lightly with a pinch of salt. Soak in chilled water for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the shrimp from the water and set them aside. Meanwhile, peel the garlic and cut it into thin slices.

Step 3

In the skillet, set to medium heat, add half of the olive oil, and once hot add the finely chopped onion. Cook the onion until golden, then add the sliced garlic. Cook for around 3-4 minutes or until the garlic starts to golden slightly.

Step 4

Add the remaining oil and give it a minute to heat up. Add all of the shrimp and cook for around 3 minutes on each side or until golden.

Step 5

Once you flip the shrimp, add the sherry and a little lemon zest and stir occasionally to allow the shrimp to collect with the garlic and spices.

Step 6

Add the chili, and toasted paprika, and stir through. Cook for another minute.

Step 7

Once everything has slightly browned, remove from the heat and sprinkle with some fresh parsley.

Step 8

To serve:

Step 9

Either serve in small clay pots or just serve the skillet on a wooden chopping board. Always serve this dish with a mountain of fresh bread!
