Savory and garlicky with a delicious finishing hit of nutty sherry wine, this lightning-fast Spanish shrimp dish is sure to be a hit at your table. Serve it with whole-wheat baguette slices so none of the luscious sauce goes to waste. If you don’t have sherry wine, you can use a teaspoon of sherry vinegar instead.
