Quick and Easy Garlic Shrimp
My husband is not a seafood fan. He comes from a great meat-eating landlocked nation so I don’t blame him really. On the other hand, my daughter and I can’t get enough of the stuff so whenever he goes away on business I take the opportunity to cook seafood. When the cat’s away the mice will play right 😉 Since moving to Spain we have been overwhelmed with seafood options.
At the fishmongers’ in our neighbourhood supermarket you can find a plethora of fresh seafood for sale. There is always a fish of the day which has been caught from the port. To be honest I don’t even know the names of half the fish and seafood and I haven’t been very adventurous. I just stick to shrimp.
I’ve served this easy garlic shrimp as an appetizer but my favourite way to have it is with King Soba gluten free noodles
At first glance these noodles may seem a tad pricey but they are 100% organic, gluten-free, egg-free, non GMO and contain no preservatives nor artificial flavours/colours. Definitely worth the few extra euros to me. Having said that a few weeks ago they were on special at my supermarket so I picked up about 10 packets! You would not have liked to see the look on my hubby’s face when I got home with a bag full of noodles, ha! There are some really unique combo flavours like sweet potato and buckwheat, black rice, brown rice and wakame but my absolute favourite so far is the pumpkin, ginger and brown rice noodles. They complement these garlic shrimp wonderfully.
