Gambas al Ajillo – Spanish Garlic Prawn Tapas. Gambas al Ajilo is an iconic tapas recipe originally from Madrid. They are traditionally made and served in small earthenware dishes called cazuelita de barro. The list of ingredients is small. Prawns and the best quality Spanish olive oil you can afford.
