About Gambas al ajillo

Gambas Al Ajillo is a traditional Spanish dish made with succulent shrimp sautéed in olive oil with garlic, dried chili peppers, and a touch of parsley or paprika for added flavor. Originating from Spain's southern regions, this tapa is celebrated for its simplicity and rich taste. Olive oil, the dish’s main cooking medium, provides healthy monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health. Shrimp is a lean source of protein, low in calories, and rich in nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12. However, the dish can be high in sodium, especially if seasoned generously or enjoyed with crusty bread for dipping. While naturally gluten-free, those mindful of fat intake should consider the oil quantity used. Gambas Al Ajillo delivers vibrant Mediterranean flavors balanced with nutritional benefits, making it a high-protein, flavorful option in Spanish cuisine.
