About the dish
Gambas al ajillo is Spanish bar food, and ours keeps the logic: pink shrimp sautéed in garlic butter with paprika, garlic confited slowly until it loses its bite and turns sweet, confit tomato and parsley on top. The bread comes along because the best part is scraping the bottom of the pan.
A starter to share and linger over, ideally with a chilled rosé on the table. A Friday-to-Sunday special from the Benedito signature kitchen, in Cambuí, Campinas.
