Sauté the Shrimp:
- In a sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the shrimp and seasonings, cooking them until they are halfway done, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Garlic and Bacon:
- Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, and bacon. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
Deglaze with Sherry:
- Pour in the sherry, allowing it to cook down and reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
Finish the Sauce:
- Add butter and stir until it melts, creating a rich sauce that coats the shrimp.
Serve:
- Sprinkle the shrimp with fresh parsley and squeeze the lemon wedges over the top for a burst of freshness.
- Serve immediately with crusty bread and a glass of crisp white wine, like a Verdejo from Rueda or a refreshing bubbly Cava from Penedes.
