Garlic Shrimp with Chili Paste
Want something quick and fun? Make Garlic Shrimp with Chili Paste. It is very easy and fusses free. I love eating hot and spicy dishes, and this one does it for me when I am in the mood for shrimp and don’t have time to stay in the kitchen for long.
Very few ingredients are needed. The only task that may be time-consuming is the cleaning and deveining shrimp. If you buy them already deveined and cleaned, there’s not much for you to do. This dish can be served as a side dish or as an appetizer. Don’t forget that Chili Paste might have a lot of heat for some people. You may add less or more to the dish depending on your preference.

Chili Paste is found in food stores. And by the way, if you love bread as I do, try my Garlic Shrimp with Chili Paste recipe with some warm or rustic bread.
Enjoy!
