Chilean garlic prawns with a hint of pisco for a flavorful twist on a Spanish tapas favorite.
Ingredients:
- 10 cloves garlic, peeled and slightly crushed
- 0.5 cup grapeseed oil or olive oil
- 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cacho de cabra pepper, or Anaheim pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons pisco or brandy
- salt to taste
- cayenne pepper to taste
- 1 lime, cut into wedges, for serving
Instructions:
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the garlic cloves in grapeseed oil until golden brown and the oil is hot.
