Never heard of Gambas before. It looks enticing!!

Since op forgot to mention I'd just like to add this fun fact: gambas is just "shrimp" in french, spanish and portuguese.

It’s so good, especially if you like garlic. So easy to make too!

I had to look up what it was since I haven't actually heard of it either. How did you make it?

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I just sautéed some onions and a ton of garlic in olive oil and some butter, then fried the shrimp in it. Most recipes have you use sherry or some cooking wine on the shrimp, but I forgot. As my own personal touch, I used gochugaru for spiciness and color, aside from paprika. Then I added pepper flakes for even more spice.

Awesome, thanks!!!

Looks very tasty. Some vegetables would be a good addition.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the board definitely needed some veggies and fruits. We’ll do that for NYE.

I would shovel that whole bowl of shrimp straight into my mouth.

We did something similar, sans the shrimp and ham, with homemade bread, and some friuts and olives. It truly is the best Christmas dinner.
