Gambas al Ajillo Spanish Garlic Shrimp Recipe

Sweet prawns in garlicky olive oil is pretty much the ideal tapas bar snack. The smell of sweet prawns and garlic goes perfectly with a nice sherry while the remaining oil at the bottom of the earthenware dish is the perfect sopping agent for good Spanish bread. It’s also one of those dishes that even when mediocre is still pretty good. I’ve had enough mediocre gambas al ajillo in my life even in Spain! to be able to say that with certainty.
