About Garlic prawns
Prawns cooked with garlic and olive oil, often with a little chilli. A hot sharing tapa that goes well with bread.
What to expect
Gambas al ajillo combine prawns, garlic and olive oil in a quick preparation usually brought to the table hot. An earthenware dish is common, though not essential. Chilli often appears, but the heat and amount of garlic vary between kitchens.
Ordering tips
Ask whether the prawns are peeled and how spicy the dish is. Bread is a popular accompaniment for the garlicky oil, but it may be charged separately. Allow the serving dish to cool a little before touching it.
