In this Spanish-inspired dish, toss shrimp with ripe red tomatoes, which cook quickly in a single pan. Add a dollop of aioli and dig in with torn baguette.
Note: The shrimp arrives frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it same day, place it in a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Contains: eggs, crustacean shellfish, wheat, soy
What You Get
Tomatoes
Garlic
Lemon
Parsley
Shrimp (see note below)
Spanish smoked paprika
Baguette
Garlic aioli
What You'll Need
Olive oil
Salt
Chile flakes (optional)
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Chop the tomatoes and scrape them into a bowl, including the juices. Smash 3 or 4 cloves of garlic. Cut the lemon into wedges for serving. Pick the parsley, toss the stems, and chop the leaves. Drain the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large sauté pan (12 or 14 inches) over medium heat, warm ¼ cup olive oil. Add the garlic and stir until golden, 2 minutes. Add the shrimp in a single layer, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the paprika, and season with salt. Cook until bright pink and tightly furled, stirring once or twice, 4 minutes. Add a pinch or two of chile flakes, if you want some heat. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, along with a pinch of salt, and simmer until the juices release slightly, 2 minutes longer.
Step 3
Meanwhile, slide the baguette into the oven to warm, about 8-12 minutes.
Step 4
Spoon the shrimp and tomatoes into bowls, dollop with the garlic aioli, and sprinkle with parsley. Set out a bowl for discarding the shells and plenty of napkins. Squeeze lemon over the shrimp and serve warm, with torn baguette for dunking, and peeling the shrimp as you go.
