You’ll find this dish in pretty much every tapas bar in every coastal town in Spain, as well as in all the major cities. We love our fish and shellfish so much that the capital Madrid (which is in the middle of mainland Spain) is a major fresh fish importer, second only to Tokyo.

One of my favorite memories of my time in Spain. It is a place that once you've been there your love for it never fades. Four decades later I still dream about going back.

Absolutely fascinated and pleased to know that Spain/Madrid is the 2nd largest seafood market/consumer in the world after Japan! That means there's a plethora of Spanish seafood recipes to dive into and I am ready for it! I would've guessed it was China!

I tried this dish with a German couple and they mentioned this was a Spanish dish and learned how to make it there. I am Mexican and I would order “camarones al ajillo” and it was completely different - the taste was just not it! I’m so happy I found this, can’t wait to make this fabulous dish! Thank you so much!!

Boom! Oh and If you can get them the Argentinian Carabineros prawns as they are the best in the world. Thx for the vid.

How long do you cook tiny prawns that are fully submerged in the oil??

@aztecwarrior9729 2 жыл бұрын

As soon as they hit hot oil, they will turn pink and done. Maybe lower the heat so the garlic/chili flavor has a chance to infused in them. (The thing with shrimp is the longer you leave it there the tougher it gets. Nothing will happen but when they are overcooked they shrink more cause all the water is evaporating. If you are planning to do a lots, then I would do one small batch first- like a handfull. Then another one and another, so you get more learning experience an a good idea how long they need hit that right spot.)
