Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
  3. 1 to 2 chiles de árbol, seeds removed and sliced thin
  4. 1 pound 21/25 shrimp (gambas), peeled and deveined
  5. Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Coat a cazuela, heavy-duty sauté pan or Dutch oven with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the garlic and sliced chiles de árbol and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Add the shrimp, a pinch of salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, tossing to coat. Working quickly, cook the shrimp, flipping frequently, until fragrant and pink, yet still tender. Remove the cazuela from the heat, place on a trivet and serve the gambas directly from the cazuela to keep them warm and marinating.
