How to cook deliciously - Spanish Garlic Shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo)

1. Stage

Place shrimp in a large bowl and season with paprika and kosher salt; mix well to coat.

2. Stage

Slice garlic into thin slices. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; add garlic and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and increase heat to high. Toss and turn shrimp with tongs until starting to curl but still undercooked, about 2 minutes. Pour in sherry. Cook, stirring continuously, until sauce comes up to a boil and shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley. Chef John
