For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika along with the sweet paprika. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. They are done when they are pink and opaque. Serve immediately with crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sherry-garlic sauce. If you don't have sherry, dry white wine or even a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can be used as a substitute. Feel free to experiment with other seafood like scallops or squid.
