Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Cooking shrimp over heat for too long makes them dry, so sear for only 15 seconds, then turn off the heat and use residual heat for a moist texture.
  • Adding a little sherry vinegar or regular vinegar when adding the shrimp enhances the flavor.
  • Slice the garlic thickly, as thin slices can burn quickly.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make gambas with a springy, moist texture without fail.
  • Those looking for a super simple Spanish tapas to pair with wine or beer.
  • Those who want to quickly serve an impressive appetizer when hosting guests.
