GAMBAS AL AJILLO, SPANISH GARLIC SHRIMP



Gambas al Ajillo, Spanish Garlic Shrimp image

Any shrimp will do here, but I love this with spot prawns. You want lots of garlic, a little chile, and enough lemon to balance out the olive oil. This recipe is best done with shell-on shrimp that you peel at the table, but you can do it with peeled and deveined shrimp, too.

  • When grilling the prawns, be sure to cook them over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Serve the prawns immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
