Ingredients for Camarones al Ajo
Method
Directions for Preparing Camarones al Ajo
Prepare the Shrimp
In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Dredge the shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess.
Fry the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add Cream and Finish
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the shrimp and serve hot.
