Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (16-ounce) pepperoni, 1/2-inch dice
- 1 head garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 1/2 pounds (16 to 20 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Crusty chewy bread, for sopping
Directions
In a medium saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat and saute the diced pepperoni until it releases some of its oil, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining oil and garlic and lower the heat to medium-low. Let flavors infuse over the low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the adobo, paprika, and cayenne. Add the shrimp and coat them evenly with the spices. Let rest for 15 minutes on the counter to come to room temperature. Add the shrimp to the garlic oil, raise heat slightly to cook, stirring and turning to cook the shrimp evenly, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve as an appetizer with toothpicks and crusty chewy bread, for sopping.

Too oily, spicy, and too salty. Liked the shrimp, but that's it. Will make the shrimp again coated with the spices with less cayenne and sauteed, but won't ever do the pepperoni and oil thing ever again.

I was surprised the pepperoni didn't express as much color or flavor to the oil as I expected. The shrimp had a nice flavor but the guests at the party I brought it to didn't get excited about dipping the bread into the sauce. I DID use less oil- about 3/4 cup less. If I had used the whole amount I think it would have simply been lots of mildly spiced oil. I probably won't make this again-- quite expensive to make with not the usual amount of rave.
