Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Frying garlic over high heat can make it bitter, so gently infuse the flavor over low heat.
  • Instead of fermented hairtail viscera sauce, you can use anchovies or fish sauce to add savory depth.
  • Overcooking the shrimp will make the texture tough, so turn off the heat as soon as they are cooked.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to add a unique savory depth to their usual gambas.
  • Those looking for a salty, deep-flavored snack that's great for dipping baguette bread.
