GAMBAS AL AJILLO (SHRIMP W/ GARLIC) CATALONIA
While this is usually served as a tapa, it is too good not to eat as a main course. After trying the ones that were posted here on Zaar, I found myself still searching for the gambas we had in Barcelona. Finally I found the recipe with the flavor and creaminess of the dish we fell in love with in Spain! The same dish can be made with squid, cut into rings, or scallops. Serve with lots of warm crusty bread to sop up the sauce.... You will not want to waste a drop! (Make sure you are "warming" the olive oil and the butter, not cooking it off..... cause you'll want every last bit of it for the sauce)

GAMBAS AL AJILLO WITH CRAB ROE PASTE (TABA NG TALANGKA)
This used to be a treat for me growing up, the shrimp should be reason enough to love this recipe but the sauce is to die for.. Garlic and Chili infused olive oil with a splash of lemon and "heaven on earth" crab roe paste can be sooo good enough to drag your bread into it or a spoonful with hot rice.. The Crab paste adds another layer of flavour that compliments the tang of the lemon and the sweetness of the olive oil. You can find it at most asian supermarkets

This is a wonderful Spanish appetizer (tapa), and is so easy to make! It is delicious served with crusty french bread and red wine. It may be made up to a day in advance, and then cooked right before serving.
