Gambas al Ajillo

Spanish tapas are super delicious, but can be very expensive. Also, as a working mom with a young child, it is hard to eat out at restaurants. So many things to pack and so many behavioral issues to deal with. I usually try to avoid it to give myself an easier day. So my solution is to learn to make it in the comfort of your home. These gambas al ajillo are quick, easy, and packed with flavor. Just add some crusty bread for dipping of yummy buttery sauces!
