Camarones al Ajillo: Garlic Shrimp

“I'm not writing it as a diet post, but I did eat a little of it” Ivonne

Ingredients:

1 lb shrimp de-veined, tail off

3-4 cloves garlic, pressed or chopped

olive oil (enough to coat the bottom of your pan and then some)

1 tsp paprika

sprinkling of cilantro

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

This is so simple, it's almost silly to post it.

Heat your olive oil in a skillet with your pressed garlic until it becomes fragrant.

Add your paprika and shrimp.

 Add your cilantro (I was going to originally use parsley which would have been the more 
"obvious" choice, but I only had cilantro and it was marvelous),

Add salt and pepper.

Toss back and forth.

The shrimp cook rather quickly.

Serve on a layer of rice or as in my case fettuccini.

Accompany with a salad.

Fried Pork Chunks: Masitas de Puerco

Recipe from: cubaninthemidwest

Fried Pork Chunks: Masitas de Puerco

Ingredients:

2 1/2 lb. fresh pork loin

12 garlic cloves peeled and crushed

1 large onion chopped

1/2 cup sour orange juice (or 1/4 cup unsweetened orange juice & 1/4 cup lime juice)

2 cups water

1 cup pure Spanish olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 fresh onion sliced into rings

lime wedges

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon cumin

Directions:

Cut pork into 2 inch chunks.

To prepare marinade: mix together garlic, chopped onion, orange juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 
oregano, cumin and salt.

Pour over pork chunks and marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Remove meat from marinade.

Place in pot with two cups of water and 1/2 cup olive oil. (I did not remove the meat from the marinade; I placed all of it in the pot)

Simmer, uncovered until all water boils away -- about 30 to 45 minutes.

The pork became very tender during this process.

Brown the pork in the oil until crispy on the outside.

Add onion slices and saute briefly.

Garnish with lime wedges.

I skipped these last two directions since I placed the pork in the pot with the chopped onions from the marinade and it already had lime juice.

Tip: If in the end your masitas are pale in color, you can quick-fry them in a non-stick skillet 
with some olive oil on high, for a couple of minutes
