Spanish Garlic Shrimp image

This recipe from Gourmet Magazine is an example of what one can expect to be served at a Spanish tapas bar. They are very quick to prepare and can be made up to one day in advance, keeping in mind that they should be brought to room temperature before serving. I only use 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes but you can use a whole teaspoon if you like your food spicy.

This recipe was a disaster! The shrimp were rubbery and the sauce was bland. I do not recommend it.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and paprika to give it more flavor.

Easy and delicious! I used frozen shrimp and it still turned out great. I served it with crusty bread to soak up all the sauce.

This recipe was a hit! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and garlicky. I served it over rice and it was a delicious and easy weeknight meal.
