How to cook deliciously - Shrimp in Garlic Sauce

1. Stage

In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the garlic, bay leaf and red-pepper flakes and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Stage

Add the shrimp, salt and black pepper to the pan and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just done, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the sherry, lemon juice and parsley.

3. Stage

Notes: Deveining Shrimp: Dark shrimp veins are usually removed for aesthetic purposes. We find that it's not essential to take them out, especially if you're pressed for time.

4. Stage

Fish Alternatives: Squid would be delicious with the garlic sauce. Cook it quickly (for about two minutes), or it will become tough and rubbery. Sea scallops are another alternative; cook them for about two minutes per side, without stirring, so they brown nicely.

5. Stage

Wine Recommendation: Bold Mediterranean flavors welcome an easygoing wine such as a dry rosé from Spain or the south of France. If you prefer a wine with a bit more sweetness, try a white zinfandel from California.
