This garlicky spicy prawn dish is simply delectable. Here is my take on the classic Spanish tapa, my best gambas pil pil recipe.
Since moving to Spain my go to tapa is always the gambas pil pil, I really love the spicy garlic sauce infused with the olive oil. I think my wife agrees, a plate of gambas pil pil is almost certainly ordered when we go to a beach bar for some tapas and drinks.
This recipe is really simple. The most time consuming bit is cleaning the prawns. If you have a good fishmonger you can ask him/her to clean them for you.
Traditionally gambas pil pil is cooked directly in a terracotta casserole like this one but a pan will work perfectly well. Make sure you have all the ingredients ready because the cooking goes very quickly and you want everything on hand including some rustic bread or baguette to dunk into the wonderful sauce this dish creates.
