GAMBAS AL AJILLO CATALONIA
While this is usually served as a tapa, it is too good not to eat as a main course. After trying the ones that were posted here on Zaar, I found myself still searching for the gambas we had in Barcelona. Finally I found the recipe with the flavor and creaminess of the dish we fell in love with in Spain!
Ingredients
- 1⁄4cup olive oil
- 1⁄4cup butter
- 1 1⁄2lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 -6garlic cloves, minced (more if you are a garlic lover)
- 1⁄4cup fresh lemon juice
- 1teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄2teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
- 4tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped

Direction
- In a wide, shallow sauté pan over high heat, warm the Olive Oil and the Butter; add the Shrimp and Garlic and sauté quickly for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice, paprika, pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings to your liking.
- Transfer to a warmed serving dish, sprinkle with the parsley and serve at once.
