Why are they so popular?…
Well, apart from their exquisite taste, prawns represent terrific value-for-money … they’re low in calories, and packed full of essential nutrients such as magnesium, zinc and selenium.
They’re also rich in the all-important Omega 3 fatty acids.
What’s more, gambas al ajillo is an ideal tapas dish to make at home – it’s so simple and quick to prepare, plus the prawns are best enjoyed immediately after cooking.
So, pour yourself a glass of wine to sip while you’re making them – you’ll enjoy the experience even more.
