Gambas y gabardina

Gambas en gabardina is a classic Spanish tapa. It's made with battered and fried shrimps, or as the poetical name suggest, shrimps in a raincoat. In order to make it, fresh shrimps are coated in a batter consisting of flour, baking powder, beer, and salt, sometimes with a pinch of saffron for color. They are then fried in hot oil and served hot as a tapa or a starter, preferrably with alioli sauce and a glass of beer on the side.
