Gambas al Ajillo is a popular Spanish shrimp in garlic tapa.
Traditionally Gambas al Ajillo are served in a Spanish terracotta dish called a cazuela de barro.
This is a classic Gambas al Ajillo recipe. Don't forget the sliced pieces of crusty bread for dipping in the garlic when all the shrimp are gone.
