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.
