Instructions

  1. Season the shrimp with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and red pepper flakes and set aside.
  2. Heat ⅓ cup of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook until they begin to soften, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and bay leaf. Season with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt and stir in the smoked paprika. Cook for 2 minutes. Add ¼ cup more olive oil and the shrimp and cook until pink and becoming opaque, for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Move the skillet from the heat and add the brandy and chickpeas. Return to the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until the alcohol evaporates and the chickpeas warm through. Season with the rest of the kosher salt to taste and sprinkle with a handful of chopped parsley. Drizzle with more olive oil before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
