π¦ Grace’s Super Simple Gambas Recipe
Hello! This is Grace, mom of two π
Today, I’m sharing one of my go-to super easy one-pan dishes: Gambas (Spanish-style garlic shrimp).
The name might sound fancy, and you may think it’s something you can only enjoy at a restaurant—but in reality, it’s incredibly simple to make. All you need are frozen shrimp, garlic, and olive oil, and you’ve got a delicious dish ready in no time. I especially love making this when guests arrive unexpectedly, when I want a quick meal, or as a perfect snack to enjoy with drinks.

π Ingredients (Serves 2)
- Whole garlic cloves, a handful (about 10 cloves)
- Frozen shrimp, ~200g
- Vietnamese chili peppers, 2–3 (adjust to taste)
- Olive oil (enough to cover the ingredients, about 200ml)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Chicken stock, 1–2 tsp
- Mini brie cheese, a handful (optional)
- Baguette or sliced bread
π It may look like a lot, but most of these are basic pantry staples. The only things you really need to buy are shrimp and olive oil!
π©π³ How to Make It
1. Prepare a small pan or pot
You can use a mini saucepan, clay pot, small frying pan, or cast-iron pan.
2. Layer garlic and add shrimp
Spread the garlic evenly at the bottom of the pan, then place the frozen shrimp on top.
(You can use them frozen, but pat off any excess moisture with a paper towel to avoid oil splattering.)
3. Add olive oil & season
Pour in enough olive oil to just cover the ingredients, then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
4. Simmer on low heat
Turn on the heat and wait for the oil to bubble. The garlic will turn golden, and the shrimp will change from translucent to pink.
→ Once the shrimp shrink and turn red, they’re almost done!
5. Adjust the seasoning
Taste the oil—likely it will be a bit mild. Add 1–2 tsp of chicken stock, and adjust with a little more salt if needed. This enhances the flavor beautifully.
6. Add a spicy kick
Slice the chili peppers and add them to the pan. For a spicier dish, include the seeds; for milder heat, remove the seeds.
7. Finish with brie cheese
Turn off the heat and tear in the mini brie. The residual heat gently melts the cheese, adding a rich, creamy flavor that takes the Gambas to the next level.
8. Serve with bread
Warm up some baguette or sliced bread and serve on the side. Dip the bread into the garlicky oil, and you’ll instantly understand why Gambas is a top choice for entertaining.
π Pro Tip: Turn Gambas into Pasta!
If you want to enjoy it as a full meal, don’t waste the leftover oil. Just like using leftover stew for fried rice, Spanish Gambas oil is perfect for pasta:
- Cook pasta separately.
- Toss the cooked pasta in the leftover Gambas oil.
- Adjust seasoning with salt & pepper, and finish with parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice.
This creates a restaurant-level dish right at home with minimal effort!
π Who Will Love This Recipe?
- Solo diners or people living alone: when you want a simple yet impressive dish.
- Newlyweds: perfect for a cozy, romantic dinner at home.
- Housewarming or home parties: a dish that will wow your guests.
Gambas isn’t just a recipe—it’s like a little home-cooked journey to Spain. That first bite of garlic-infused oil with warm bread will make you feel like you’re sitting in a small bar in Barcelona.
Spend a weekend with family, friends, or loved ones sharing a warm pan of Gambas and savor these small moments of happiness.
