The Famous Spanish Garlic Shrimp | Gambas al Ajillo from Madrid

[@hansdampf4055]

I first ate this dish many years ago in a Spanish restaurant in Munich. Since then, it has been my wife's favorite food and is available for birthday and New Year's Eve. I always use fresh shrimp and therefore I always fry the shrimp first and only then the garlic because the garlic burns easily. I take fresh chilies and much more parsley, which I let soak briefly in the pan at the end. Goes in the Italian "alio e olio" direction and also tastes sensational. Great recipe that I can recommend to every seafood and garlic lover

[@osamafarooq1669]

Ma sha Allah. Bro. What a dish. Love the part where you think of us non alcoholics and mention about substituting with grape juice. May God bless you and guide you.

Back in the Eighties,I ate at a Spanish restaurant "La Sevilla" in NYC and I ordered "Camarones al Ajillo".They served it in a clay bowl....Delicious!

[@SpainonaFork]

Sounds great! Thanks for the comment :) much love

[@jacksp1787]

You are a class act, amigo. The captioning is helpful any time, especially so for a few friends "of a certain age" who do not hear well: very much appreciated. I have ordered this before at several places and never been disappointed, but I have made it, with some variations, hundreds of time. Sometimes on.rice, sometimes on pasta/noodles, but favoritest is sopping it up with local [San Francisco CA] sourdough bread with a glass or 3 of [preferably] a dry white wine: it goes with chablis or even a Sauterne. Tu eres un urso, hermano.

[@SpainonaFork]

Yes a great bread to soak up that sauce is the best! much love:)

[@marieguterman515]

Hello there! I enjoy watching your videos. Your cooking is quick and easy to make. But specifically the way you present each of the ingredients it brings life to these dishes. I wish I was there and taste each dish you prepare. They each look so delicious! And you are full of life! I never thought I would ever see a non stuck up Spaniard! But you are Simpatico with a great personality!

Thank you so much:)

[@torstenneuer1560]

Just tried this out yesterday as I had some shrimp in my freezer. Also added some butter as Alexander Norman suggested after adding the shrimp to the pan. Absolutely fabulous dish by itself, but also very nice to have as tapas along with some other dishes while you're enjoying some company (which right now, unfortunately, is not an option). For white wine, I used a German Silvaner which also served brilliantly as accompanying beverage.

[@SpainonaFork]

Glad you enjoyed it :) thanks for the comment! much love

[@digital_crickets]

This recipe quickly became a house favorite! We toss linguine in the garlic sauce after removing the shrimp, and it makes a perfect meal! Mucho Delicioso! Thanks for all your recipes, amigo!

[@maddierosemusic]

Hi - sorry I'd like to mention - there really is no "FRESH" shrimp in the US, they FLASH FREEZE it because it spoils so fast. So I wouldn't be surprised it's not the same in Spain, unless the fleet comes in each day. Either way, shrimp are delicate, and you need to keep them as cold as possible. This recipe has changed my life!!!!! I am amazing people with few ingredients and BOLD FLAVOR!!!! THANK YOU CHEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT's On the Superbowl MENU!!!!

[@SpainonaFork]

Thanks for the info! much love :)

looks so delicious i love shrimp i will try to make this in my channel thanks for sharing the recipe

[@schmoonkie]

I had this dish at a Spanish restaurant once. The menu clearly noted the abundant garlic. The guests at table next to me complained that the dish was too garlicky. I proceeded to order the same dish and told the waitress to double the amount of garlic they normally use. I made sure that the other table heard me say it... :-) So I made this dish this evening. I didn't have wine, so I used Dry Vermouth instead. I think it would have been better with some white wine. What type of wine would you recommend for this dish? I followed the instructions and timing in your video, but I think my sauce was not as quite as thick as yours. So next time I think I'll add a bit less wine. Other than that, we liked the dish quite a lot. We used some crusty bread to sponge up the oil. Nothing was left on the serving plate... So thanks for another great recipe. Tomorrow I'll try your "Spanish Chickpea Stew"

[@SpainonaFork]

I just used a regular white rioja table wine, love your story about asking for more garlic :) much love and stay safe

Olive oil, garlic, shrimp and parsley are a perfect combination. I don't add wine because I think it dilutes the flavors of the other ingredients. Wonderful over rice. Hmmmmm.

I season the shrimp with a little paprika and add a whisper of beef gravy to the wine. Swirling in some butter at the end after the shrimp are removed thickens the sauce.
