The Most Garlicky Spanish Garlic Shrimp

From Albert Bevia:
In this post, I will show you how to make the most Garlicky Spanish Garlic Shrimp ever! Seriously folk´s, this dish has so much garlic, it´s gonna blow your mind. This tapas dish is loaded with flavors, super easy to make and done in 20 minutes.

To make this dish I used frozen shrimp I thawed out, just to make things easier and cheaper. The secret when using frozen shrimp that you thaw out? Make sure you pat them completely dry with paper towels. This removes any of the excess moisture in the shrimp, giving them a beautiful texture and flavor.
