Sizzling Sherry Shrimp with Garlic

Sizzling Sherry Shrimp with Garlic

Sherry, garlic, and olive oil combine with paprika to give these sizzled shrimp a Spanish flair. In Spain, sherry or lemon juice is not always used, but either one adds a nice contrast to the richness of the oil and garlic. Works great with squid or scallops too.
