How to Make Pintxo De Gamba Al Ajillo Shrimp Skewers With Garlic

  1. Soak 6-inch bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. Thread 4-5 large shrimp onto each skewer.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1-2 finely chopped red chilies (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Add the shrimp skewers to the marinade and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours).
  5. Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  6. Remove shrimp skewers from marinade and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  7. Garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
