Gambas à guilho

Gambas à Guilho is a classic Portuguese dish featuring prawns cooked in a garlic sauce. Fresh prawns are sautéed in olive oil with thinly sliced or minced garlic until golden and fragrant. White wine is added to deglaze the pan, creating a rich, savory sauce. The dish is seasoned with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice and optionally, red pepper flakes for heat. Garnished with fresh parsley, the prawns are tender and juicy, absorbing the flavors beautifully. Often served with crusty bread, it’s perfect as an appetizer or main dish for seafood lovers.
