Gambas à la Plancha [0000921]

Ingredients:

1 pound (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Gluten-free baguette or crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until it's very hot, almost smoking.

In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Toss the peeled and deveined shrimp in the marinade, ensuring they are coated evenly.

Carefully place the marinated shrimp onto the hot skillet or grill pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become tough.

Remove the cooked shrimp from the heat and transfer them to a serving plate.

Garnish the gluten-free gambas à la plancha with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

Serve immediately as a gluten-free appetizer. Optionally, provide gluten-free baguette or crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful juices.
