Gambas al Pil Pil (Sizzling Garlic Prawns)
Jan 19th, 2008 | By Peter Minakis | Category: Appetizer, Meze, Seafood, Tapas
Today I’m so excited to show you this quick and easy Tapas dish. Tapas are one and the same like Greek mezedes or…appetizers.
Today, I cook for Nuria, my dear blog friend at Spanish Recipes. Pay a visit to her site as she injects humour, info on Spanish cuisine and culture and she’ll even sing a song for you.
I loved this dish for it’s simplicity, quick cooking time and fabulous flavour.
Look at the photo…it tasted as good as it looks!
