Fast & Easy Spanish Garlic Shrimp Recipe
this amazing dish ranks at or near the top of many of my favorite recipe lists frozen shrimp is almost always a better choice than fresh shrimp which is not really fresh shrimp but Simply frozen shrimp that’s been thaw and put in the case what we’re going to do is cook this garlic in this oil over medium heat until it just barely starts to turn golden and also as you may notice some of the garlic will actually stick to your tongs and what we have to do immediately when we see that is ADD our shrimp in and what we’ll do over high heat for about 2 minutes is keep these moving continually with our tongs until they curl up but are still undercooked and if everything goes according to plan it should look a little something like this and as you’re plating this up you’re going to be thinking there is no way this can taste as amazing as it smells and then it does

Hello from Sacramento CA. Great chef John now I'm going to have to add this to tonight's tri tip
We thought my daughter was allergic to shrimp. Turns out she can eat fresh shrimp just fine. It's the preservatives in frozen shrimp she's allergic to.
Looks great, but what spices are used? And did he add water towards the end?
I wonder if there's any cayenne on the shrimp. 🤣
Chef started using AI 🤯
AI intro? Did something happen to Chef John?
This became a staple for me, I like to add chorizo
Gambas al ajillo need chili pepper (cayenne anyone?)
LOVE it and eat shrimp a lot. Worth a try yum!
What about FRESHLY FROZEN shramp?
I like those the bestest
Ah, but you should really, really add some white wine too. Delicious!
I will say, the only reason I go thawed over frozen is you can smell if the stuff on display is off or not; frozen you cant tell until you thaw it, by which point its too late if its especially fishy.
Unless you live in a shrimping place like AK, we can get the best fresh from the ocean shrimp you’ve ever had coming out of Whittier Alaska
Shrimp is the fruit of the sea!
Thank you for not overcooking the shrimp
I know it's a "short" but you still have to list the seasoning ingredients, Mr Chef John!
