Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using finely minced garlic can cause it to burn easily in the oil, so coarsely chopping it with a knife is better.
  • Using shiitake mushrooms instead of regular button mushrooms deepens the oil's aroma and umami.
  • Leftover oil can be mixed with cooked pasta and pasta water to make an excellent vongole pasta.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a new style of deep-flavored gambas.
  • Those looking for a classy home party appetizer that pairs well with wine or beer.
