Shrimp Pil Pil

By Kathryn Washburn Breighner

Shrimp Pil Pil is our go to dinner: the one we fix when nothing else was planned! We can't go down to our local shrimp shack for shrimp so Costco frozen shrimp has to suffice. This dinner is super fast to prepare, less than 10 minutes including prep, and we serve with saffron rice.

12-24 shrimp (depending on size and how hungry you are, about a pound total)
1/2 c olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
1 t sweet paprika
1 t cayenne pepper
2 T fresh parsley

Add garlic to hot oil, along with paprika and cayenne and stir for 30 seconds until a deep red. Add shrimp, lightly salted, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until opaque. Top with chopped parsley. That's it!
