Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  4. 4

    Add the Chili Flakes

    Stir in the dried red chili flakes and cook for another 30 seconds to release their flavor.

  5. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they are pink, then flip them over.

  6. 6

    Add the White Wine

    Pour in the white wine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked and the wine has reduced slightly.

  7. 7

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the Gambas al Ajillo to a serving dish and serve immediately, ideally with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
