There's something almost magical about the simplicity of Spanish cuisine. While other culinary traditions rely on complex techniques and lengthy ingredient lists, Spanish cooking proves that a handful of quality ingredients can create something extraordinary. Gambas al Ajillo—garlic shrimp sizzling in olive oil—is the perfect embodiment of this philosophy. This iconic tapa has graced Spanish tables for generations, from bustling bars in Madrid to seaside restaurants in Andalusia.
