Spanish Tapas-Style Fried Potatoes With Shrimp And Garlic

A garlicky, spicy potato dish that is similar to tapas served in Spain. The potatoes are delicious, especially when dipped into a garlic-infused aioli.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chiffonade


Directions

1. Bring a pot of water to boil and add the potatoes. Cook until tender. After they are cooked, drain, cool and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Heat up the oil and add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes and salt. Cook the garlic for about 30 seconds, then add the potatoes.

3. Toss the potatoes with the oil/spice mixture and cook until the potatoes are brown and crispy all over (turn them every 5 minutes so all sides are evenly brown).

4. Add the shrimp and parsley; cook for three minutes until the shrimp are pink.

5. Serve immediately with crusty bread and aioli. Sprinkle parsley on top for more garnish.
