    Instructions:

    1. Slice garlic thinly. Season shrimp with salt and cayenne or paprika. Mix to coat.
    2. Heat garlic and Olivo Amigo Joy Olive Oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until garlic starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and increase heat to high. Toss and turn shrimp with tongs until starting to curl but still undercooked, about 2 minutes. Pour in sherry or sweetened white wine. Cook, stirring continuously, until sauce comes up to a boil and shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley with a spoon.
    3. Serve over bread with an extra drizzle of Olivo Amigo Joy Olive Oil.
