Shrimp Skewers

Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Skewers

    After marinating, thread three shrimp onto each soaked wooden skewer. Ensure they are evenly spaced.

Lobster Reduction

  1. 3

    Sauté Lobster Shells

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the lobster shells and sauté for about 5 minutes until they turn pink.

  2. 4

    Add Shallots

    Add the finely chopped shallots to the pan and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Deglaze with White Wine

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer until the liquid reduces by half.

  4. 6

    Add Cream

    Stir in heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 7

    Strain the Sauce

    Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove the shells and shallots. Stir in chopped parsley.

Cooking the Skewers

  1. 8

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp skewers for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they are pink and opaque.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the Pintxo de Gambas

    Place the grilled shrimp skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with the lobster reduction. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
