Gambas, the Spanish word for prawns or large shrimp, are a popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, often featured in dishes like Gambas al Ajillo (garlic shrimp). These shellfish are a lean source of high-quality protein, rich in essential nutrients such as selenium, vitamin B12, and iodine. They also provide omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Low in calories and carbohydrates, gambas are ideal for balanced, health-conscious diets. However, they can be high in cholesterol, so moderation is recommended for individuals monitoring their intake. Lightly sautéed with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs, gambas add a flavorful, nutritious boost to meals.
