What is pil pil?
Substitution of Ingredients – This recipe has few ingredients, which are also easy to find so it is very easy to make. However, there are some substitutions you can make to adapt the recipe to your tastes. For example, my favorite change is to add 2 tablespoons of honey, or brown sugar, this makes the recipe take a bittersweet taste.
Of course, they would no longer be the typical spicy gambas al pil pil, but if you like bittersweet food you should definitely try it. Besides that you can make changes to the seasonings; add turmeric to give it another color, or other herbs like rosemary, bay leaf, or even oregano. This is also a rather spicy gambas al pil pil, so it calls for paprika powder and black ground pepper, but you can change the amount or completely remove them if you don’t like spicy food.
I recommend you to keep them because they give an amazing flavor to this dish. Another recipe that has a spicy and seafood flavor is our traditional Spanish paella recipe, If you liked this recipe, or want more ideas of Spanish dishes that you can make, I recommend that you try recipes such as the easy Spanish shrimp soup recipe or Spanish garlic shrimp,
