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!

I love Gambas al Pil Pil! My favorite starter when we’re in Spain!
Lived in Spain for 14 years and absolutely love this dish. The inclusion of white wine is key to me and I had this perfect recipe which I lost along the way. Luckily, you were there to save my butt and the gambas came out perfect. Thank you.
