Baked Spanish Shrimp

Filed in archive Recipes on January 29, 2008

Sizzling hot, garlic and hot red pepper laced, Spanish tapas-style shrimp is one of my favorite dishes to share with friends.




This is a pleasantly simple and satisfying recipe that I think you'll love. It only takes a bit of chopping and measuring, then throw everything in a couple of little dishes and bake.
A mere twenty minutes and you've got a wonderful, aromatic and zesty dish to enjoy!

10-12 ounces jumbo shrimp, peeled and butterflied

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Divide the shrimp, garlic, chili flakes, sherry and olive oil between 2 small oven proof dishes.
