🇪🇸 En español: Gambas al ajillo y guindilla
It’s impossible to imagine any decent tapas spread without a bowl of sizzling garlic and chilli prawns.
Add a cold beer or a nice glass of chilled white wine and there you have it, heaven on a plate.
Positively loaded with garlic and spices – please don’t forget the fresh, un-buttered bread, you will definitely need it!
🌶🌶 If you are a chilli lover like me try the chilli con carne, so easy but so good!
