What can I use in place of sherry in a recipe with king prawns, garlic and paprika?
I'm going to try out a recipe containing prawns for the first time. The recipe includes sherry, but I don't want to purchase a bottle of sherry as I don't drink and don't use it for cooking so I fear it will go to waste. What could I use in its place?
The recipe also calls for paprika, chilli flakes, garlic, tomatoes, breadcrumbs, red onion and parsley.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions :-)

Do you have any other alcohol (cooking or otherwise) in the house? A dry white wine could work. I usually have rice wine (Japanese, Chinese) or Sake around as I do a lot of Asian cooking, that would easily work too.

Answer 2
A dry white wine, or white vermouth.
For the more adventurous, a cognac or armagnac would also be very nice (my preference!). If the pan is hot enough, you can also make it a flambé!
