Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Camarones al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp).
Step 1
Begin by warming a skillet over medium heat, then add a splash of olive oil and a pat of butter until they melt together in a delightful sizzle.
Step 2
Toss in the sliced green bell pepper and onion, letting them dance in the pan for about five minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent, releasing its sweet aroma.
Step 3
Next, introduce the pressed garlic, allowing it to mingle for an additional minute until its fragrance fills the air.
Step 4
Now, it’s time for the star of the show: add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking them for roughly two minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful opaque pink and are perfectly cooked through.
Step 5
Pour in the rich tomato sauce, then sprinkle in dried parsley and, if you like a little heat, some crushed red pepper flakes.
Step 6
Stir everything together and let it simmer for another five minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 7
Finally, season your dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and get ready to serve up a plate of pure deliciousness.
