Do you like juicy garlic shrimps and crispy bread? Then this is for you, total satisfaction!
This one’s a Spanish classic known as, “Gambas al Ajillo”and it hits hard with bold, honest flavours. You’ve got plump prawns swimming in hot olive oil, gently sizzling away with loads of garlic and chilli to wake things up. Then comes that smoked paprika, boom! Depth and warmth. A splash of fresh lemon juice cuts through the richness, and a scatter of chopped parsley lifts the whole thing. It’s quick, rustic, and meant for sharing, no fuss, no fluff. Just grab some crusty sourdough bread and dunk straight into the pan. Those garlicky, spicy, lemony juices, almost the best part? Pure Mediterranean gold.

  1. Bellissimo Kenji come muove la sua piccola testa di lato e quando mette una zampa sopra l'altra!! (troppo carino!! ❤️ ) Naturalmente la ricetta, così come l'appropriata musica, come sempre, è fantastica! Thank you Joel 😊

  2. Looks outstanding. Hmm, seems like i have said that before in response to your recipes. My wife and i had this as an appetizer at a Spanish restaurant in Tampa, Florida, fantastic. Thanks Joel!

  3. It looked as though the shrimp got cooked quite a bit. Did they get rubbery? I'll have to try the garlic chili oil prep!

  4. Thank You so much, Dear Chef Joel! The recipe , the video and the music are great! No doubt, the shrimps are delicious! I will certainly cook the dish, and not once! Thank You! Numerous hugs to dear Kenji! Enjoy yourselves! ❤

  5. When on holiday in Tenerife Costa Adeje, I order the "gambas al ajillo" in restaurant Farola Del Mar. I haven't tried yours, but I think you get the same points from me. Greetings from Belgium.

  6. This is almost exactly how I do this, except I boil the shrimp in water with the juice of one lemon for a minute or two. This ensures that the pre-heated garlic won't burn while the shrimp turns opaque. I add the shrimp to the oil-garlic mixture for a short time. They are done when they form a nice "C" in shape and are still plump….never forming an "O." If they from an "O," you've cooked them too long.

  7. I didn’t know you can cook in clay pots on top of the stove! I always thought clay pots go in the cold oven with temperature slowly rising so that they do not crack

  8. In MÉXICO 🇲🇽 we make almost the same version , we only change the fresh peppers 🌶️ for dry smoky ‘ancho chile’ … yummy 🤤
