I am so glad I discovered this dish from Spain and it confirms why I am doing this blog. I love exploring the cuisine of other cultures and bringing it to life in my kitchen. I searched for tapas on-line and this dish was on an extensive list for typical tapas found in Spain. http://spanishfood.about.com/od/tapas/r/gambasajillo.htm The recipe is a simple shrimp saute but what makes it unique and Spanish is the smoked paprika. I found the paprika at Penzey's Spices, a nationwide spice store that has become one of my favorite places to shop. https://www.penzeys.com/shop/spices/. Another key ingredient is cognac. Olive oil is infused with chopped garlic and red pepper flakes, then the shrimp is added along with fresh lemon juice, paprika and cognac, and 5 minutes later, tapas are served. Serve with a fresh baguette to soak up the sauce. Buen apetito!
