Name: Gambas Al Ajillo (Shrimp W/ Garlic) Catalonia
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 3 min
Total time: 13 min
Ingredients: 1/4 cup olive oil; 1/4 cup butter; 1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined; 4 -6 garlic cloves, minced (more if you are a garlic lover); 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste); 4 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped; salt; fresh ground pepper

While this is usually served as a tapa, it is too good not to eat as a main course. After trying the ones that were posted here on Zaar, I found myself still searching for the gambas we had in Barcelona. Finally I found the recipe with the flavor and creaminess of the dish we fell in love with in Spain! The same dish can be made with squid, cut into rings, or scallops. Serve with lots of warm crusty bread to sop up the sauce…. You will not want to waste a drop! (Make sure you are &quot;warming&quot; the olive oil and the butter, not cooking it off..... cause you'll want every last bit of it for the sauce)

Very good. Substituted Old Bay for the red pepper. It was a lot of butter, may cut it in half next time. Will definitely make again.
