Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 500°F (recipe can also be done on the grill).
2
Mix shrimp with salt, garlic and pepper flakes. Cover and sit at room temperature about 15 minutes while oven or grill is heating.
3
Pour oil and add butter to a small, oven safe skillet. An 8 inch diameter cast iron skillet is ideal, but any oven safe pan will work as long as it is not a non-stick, Teflon coated pan. Place pan in hot oven and heat oil 10 minutes, or until very hot.
4
Carefully remove pan from oven and immediately add shrimp to hot oil. This is best done by sliding them gently down a cutting board or plate to prevent splashing. Sprinkle smoked paprika over shrimp immediately and stir gently.
5
Shrimp will sizzle and cook in hot oil.
6
Serve sizzling shrimp straight from the pan with plenty of hot fresh bread for dipping.

Chef's Note: This is a classic tapas-style appetizer from southern Spain, but makes a great meal solution served over basmati rice.
