Latino style shrimp in garlic sauce (camarones al ajillo)

 

I come from an island; eating fresh seafood was part of our regular diet. 


One of our favorites dishes is Camarones al ajillo (shrimp in garlic sauce). The shrimp is cooked in a garlic-tomato sauce, and they are delicious.

This recipe is completely different from Shrimp Scampi; which is also a garlic based recipe. This one is more like stewed shrimp.

Recipe:

  • 1 pound of shrimp, cleaned and deveined
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red Bell pepper, cut Julienne style
  • 1 teaspoon of sofrito
  • 1 teaspoon of tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 2 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Preparation:

Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper and lemon juice.

In a sauce pan heat the oil on medium-low heat. Add the garlic and stir for about 1 minute, Stir in the bell pepper, tomato paste, sofrito and water. Let the tomato paste dissolve completely.

Add the shrimp and cook until pink throughout.

Enjoy with white rice or tostones.

 

Xo,

Johanny
