instructions
    1

    Start by peeling and cutting the potatoes into cubes of approximately 1 inch. This will help them cook evenly and give a nice crispy texture.

    2

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

    3

    Fry the potatoes for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. If they begin to stick, you can add a little more olive oil as needed.

    4

    While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the shrimp. In a separate bowl, mix the shrimp with minced garlic, paprika, hot sauce, and additional salt and pepper to taste.

    5

    Add the shrimp to the frying pan during the last 5 minutes of the potatoes cooking. Cook until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

    6

    Remove from heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes and shrimp for added flavor and to brighten the dish.

    7

    Serve your Patatas Bravas con Camarones hot, with extra hot sauce on the side if you prefer an extra kick!

How to be creative
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh twist.
  • Incorporate chorizo for a heartier flavor profile.
  • Top with avocado slices for creaminess and extra nutrition.
Important Tips
  • Use waxy potatoes for the best texture, as they hold their shape better when frying.
  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding potatoes to achieve crispiness.
  • Experiment with different types of hot sauces to adjust the heat level to your preference.
