Ingredients for 5 Minute Sherried Shrimp Tapas

  • Jumbo Shrimp
  • Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sherry Wine

How to Make 5 Minute Sherried Shrimp Tapas

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  3. Pour in the sherry and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Cook for 30 seconds, allowing the sherry to reduce slightly and the shrimp to absorb the flavor.
  5. Remove from heat and season generously with Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper.
  6. Serve immediately with crusty bread or toothpicks for easy snacking.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
