Instructions

Preparing the Ingredients

  1. Prep the Shrimp: Ensure your shrimp are thoroughly cleaned, peeled, and deveined. Pat them dry to avoid oil splatter during cooking.
  2. Slice the Garlic: Thinly slice the garlic cloves. Uniform slices ensure even cooking without burning.

Cooking Process

  1. Heat the Arteflame Grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill to a medium-high setting. If using a cast iron skillet, place it on the grill to preheat as well.
  2. Cook the Garlic: Add olive oil to the skillet or directly on the grill’s cooktop if not using a skillet. Add garlic slices and red pepper flakes, sautéing until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
  3. Add Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet or directly on the grill beside the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  4. Deglaze with Sherry: Pour the dry sherry or white wine over the shrimp, letting it sizzle and evaporate to meld the flavors.

Serving

  1. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped parsley over the cooked shrimp, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Conclusion

Gambas al Ajillo on the Arteflame grill is a delightful way to enjoy a traditional Spanish tapas with a unique, smoky flavor that only outdoor grilling can provide. Serve this dish straight from the grill to your table to enjoy its aromatic and flavorful best.
