Capture the bold, vibrant flavors of southern Spain with Gambas al Ajillo — succulent Spanish garlic shrimp sizzling in olive oil with chili and fresh garlic. A staple in Madrid and across the region, this iconic dish is a highlight on the menu of any Spanish-inspired restaurant.
Pair it with Yellow Rice, also known as Saffron Rice, for a perfect accompaniment. While traditionally made with fragrant saffron, I opted for turmeric in this dinner for a more accessible twist. Use saffron if you prefer.
