GAMBAS AL AJILLO (SHRIMP W/ GARLIC) CATALONIA



Gambas Al Ajillo (Shrimp W/ Garlic) Catalonia image

While this is usually served as a tapa, it is too good not to eat as a main course. After trying the ones that were posted here on Zaar, I found myself still searching for the gambas we had in Barcelona. Finally I found the recipe with the flavor and creaminess of the dish we fell in love with in Spain! The same dish can be made with squid, cut into rings, or scallops. Serve with lots of warm crusty bread to sop up the sauce.... You will not want to waste a drop! (Make sure you are "warming" the olive oil and the butter, not cooking it off..... cause you'll want every last bit of it for the sauce)

SPANISH GARLIC SHRIMP (GAMBAS AL AJILLO)



Spanish Garlic Shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo) image

Every Spanish restaurant serves this dish of shrimp cloaked in garlic-infused olive oil with smoky hints of paprika and a touch of sweetness from sherry. Make sure you have all your ingredients together before you head to the stove since, start to finish, this cooks in mere minutes. It's great for a tapas party, since you can prep everything ahead of time. Just spoon the shrimp and sauce over toasted bread and sprinkle more cayenne and parsley on top to enjoy.

  • If you have whole shrimp, remove the shrimp heads, shells, and legs, leaving the tails on. To prepare for cooking, add three raw shrimp to each of your skewers by piercing them at each end (once at the tip and once just above the tail. They should look like the letter C on the skewer).
  • Meanwhile, place a large skillet (large enough to fit your skewers) over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, and when hot, the garlic. When the garlic is aromatic (about 1 minute), place the skewers, 3 at a time, in the skillet. Saute for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. (You can add a bit more oil to the pan if the shrimp start sticking).
  • Remove from the pan and place on a plate, dressing with lemon juice. Garnish with parsley, flakes of sea salt, and serve with crusty bread.
