Hey guys! A DELICIOUS new and simple recipe for you today! One of my go-to tapas dishes, Gambas Pil Pil. Tasty prawns cooked in a chilli, garlic and paprika olive oil served with warm crusty bread for dipping. Tapas heaven!
This is a very simple and quick dish made perfectly for sharing. Tapas is one of my favourite styles of food and prawns are one of my favourite foods so this is the perfect dish for me! It couldn’t be any easier as I have made this in the oven. The recipe can also be doubled, tripled etc. I used de shelled prawns but I also like to make it with shelled prawns as they always bring so much more flavour.
This recipe uses one full ‘medium spice’ red chilli. This wasn’t spicy at all but feel free to use how much or how little you like. Same goes with garlic, is there ever any rule on how much garlic you can use? My favourite part of this dish is dipping the crusty bread into the garlic and chilli bits in the oil! So tasty!.
