– Garlic Shrimp with Lemon and Parsley –
When it comes to shrimp, the possibilities are endless, you can use shrimp to create just about any dish you can imagine, and there are literally hundreds of recipes out there to make. I always make different types of dishes using shrimp, but at the end of the day I always come back to the classic Spanish tapa of garlic shrimp with lemon and parsley.
This is probably one of the easiest shrimp recipes you will ever find, yet it has so many layers of flavors and you can enjoy it as an appetizer or even as a main course.
Spanish tapas have never tasted better
Yes, this recipe uses simple ingredients and it´s super easy to make, but that doesn´t mean it won´t stand up to the rest of them! The key to making these garlic shrimp with lemon and parsley is to not overcook the shrimp, but I guess that is the key to any shrimp recipe :).
Oh yeah, and one last thing, don´t forget to serve a crusty baguette to mop up all that tasty sauce. Watch the video below on how to make these garlic shrimp with lemon and parsley or check out the recipe card below which you can also print. Salud!
