Gambas Al Ajillo - Shrimp In Garlic Sauce Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Debra47 / All my dishes 2 years, 3 months ago This is one of my favorite tapas; I first fell in love with Spanish cuisine when I lived in Seville for 9 months. This classic tapa is found in every region of Spain. Make sure you have a fresh loaf of bread to dunk in the garlicky sauce. Prep:25m Cook:3m Servings:2	Debra47

I made this tonight. It is simple to assemble and is quite delicious. I misread the ingredients and only had red pepper flakes available. It spiced things up a bit.
