Ingredients

3 Tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1¼ lb. large shrimp, peeled, deveined, preferably tails left on
1 tsp. paprika
½ tsp. mild red pepper flakes (such as Maras, Urfa, or Aleppo-style), plus more for serving
pinch of Kosher salt
⅓ cup of V8 Original 100% Vegetable Juice
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
½ lemon
½ cup coarsely chopped parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine 3 Tbsp. oil and garlic in a large skillet. Set over medium heat and cook, tossing occasionally, until garlic has softened but has not taken on any color, 2–3 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add shrimp, paprika, and red pepper flakes, and increase heat to medium-high. Season lightly with salt and cook, tossing often, until shrimp is almost cooked through, about 2 minutes.

    Step 3

    Add V8 Original 100% Vegetable Juice and butter and cook, still tossing, until reduced by half and you have a silky red sauce, about 2 minutes.

    Step 4

    Remove skillet from heat. Finely grate zest from lemon half over shrimp, then squeeze in about 1 tbsp. lemon juice. Scatter parsley and toss once more.

    Step 5

    Transfer shrimp to a platter and drizzle with plenty of oil.

    Step 6

    Serve with thick slices of crusty bread.
