Here's a couple used in Rodriguez' Tapas Bar, Guadalajara, Mexico:

Garlic Shrimp

1 pound uncooked shrimp, shelled and deveined
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
� teaspoon red pepper flakes
� teaspoon Spanish paprika
1 tablespoon minced fresh coriander
Salt

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron. Add garlic and cook until golden. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until shrimp are just pink, two to three minutes. Stir in pepper flakes, paprika, coriander, and salt to taste. Serve immediately, preferably in the skillet.

Chorizo with Figs

1 pound chorizo (Spanish sausage), cut into 1" pieces

1 small onion, sliced lengthwise

1 tablespoon olive oil

� cup red wine

1 can figs

� cup sugar

� cup red wine vinegar

1 stick cinnamon

� teaspoon cloves

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and add the chorizo and garlic; saut� until garlic in golden brown. Add red wine, sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, and cloves and simmer 30 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the drained figs. This can be made in advance and reheated just before serving.
