Sizzling Shrimp with Garlic and Pimentón
One of the most appealing things about Mediterranean dishes is their simplicity. Take this garlicky shrimp recipe, which is marvelously streamlined: it's shrimp (you can use shell-on or peeled) sautéed in nothing more than olive oil, garlic, red-pepper flakes and Spanish smoked paprika. Serve with toothpicks—and perhaps some crusty bread, in case anyone wants to soak up the rich oil in which the dish is cooked.
