Tapas: Gambas Al Ajillo (Spanish side dish)
Serves about 2-4 people
Ingredients: 1LB Shrimp (I used 13-15 count per pound, however, smaller ones are just fine too), 1 cup chopped onions, 1/2 cup chopped garlic ( or more if you like) 1/2 cup olive oil (I used one from Spain since this is a Spain dish), 1 tsp smoked paprika powder or chili powder or crushed pepper, 1 tsp fresh grounded black pepper, 1tsp dried basil (fresh ones are always better), 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, 1tbsp parsley.
Place it in the oven at 400F for about 15 mins or until shrimps are cooked.
And than, broil it for 2-3 mins
-Gambas goes well with either beer and wine.
-I like to dip bread and eat it!! So savory and yummy!!
-No need to add salt since the shrimps are already salty.
-With the left over oil, you can use it for oil pasta! Just cook angel hair or spaghetti and add left over oil and some chopped basil and cook it on the pan!!
