A cook who harvests the aroma and taste from the prawn shells has my respect!!! None of the other spanish chilli prawn videos do this.
I agree, this is such another level ABOVE
You and Kenji are my favorite RUclips cooks
this channel is so underrated.. she explains it so well that I don't feel the need to learn from my mother
ah -- thanks! we'll keep this secret safe from you Mom, shall we?
+Helen Rennie yeah :) I honestly want to thank you for sharing your "wisdom" so openly with us..
Fortunately my Mom is no longer with us. Helen still is!
I made these shrimp this way last night, using your method and they were delicious! I have made these before but not with the garlic used three ways, and from now on I will do it that way. The best!
I love the pithiness of her presentation. A lot of useful tips.
Thanks for this tutorial. You always have the most refined techniques and explain them perfectly.
Wonderful Spanish accent and pronunciation. And recipe as always... yum!
Have you ever thought about video taping your class and putting it on the internet for people to buy to watch? Thanks for all you do and all you know about cooking! I wish I could attend your classes in person as I would go to every one of them! I’m in Florida so.. 😜
Helen, this is gold!
My absolutely favourite Spanish dish.
Excellent! Even though I've lived in Spain, I didn't know all these tips.
I have done this recipe 4 timmes now. It is soooo tasty!
this is my favorite dish so far. can't go wrong with garlic and shrimps
I would take the time to devein the shrimp. There's a super easy way to do it so it takes no time at all. Like you, I'm not scared of a little shrimp poop, but if you get shrimp that have been rooting around in the sand it will quickly change your opinion.
I think you should also mention the importance of serving these with toast to soak up all the oil and sauce.
Lastly, understand there are several varieties of shrimp. Here, she's using white shrimps which are nice and tender and hold their shape well. Pink shrimp are the same. Black tiger shrimp, which usually come from southeast asia get hard and can curl up tightly.
Thanks Helen.. This is a wonderful recipe.. I am from Jordan .. I have read tens of shrimps/ garlic recipes, but none was close to this .. Great work 👍 Keep sending more..
Oh man, I'm hungry again and I just ate dinner! Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend! Thank you!
Ever since my daughter watched "The Little Mermaid" my home seafood intake has been restricted. Damn you Disney!
But 20 years is enough! Tomorrow, shrimp is on the table. Let her eat cake...
Wow. This show is done incredibly well.
I have all of these ingredients at home.... I'll be right back! Gonna make these for dinner! Thank you, helen!
can't wait to hear how it goes :)
+Helen Rennie It turned out excellent!! That infused shrimpy and garlicy oil is really to die for. Soaking it up with crusty bread....to die for! Thank you Helen!
This looks delicious!
Love this Chanel!
I added a little butter at the end and used fresh finely chopped thyme along with the parsley......... " heaven", thank you for your marvelous videos !!!!!!!!
mmm -- butter :) what isn't better with butter. today in class I swirled a tablespoon into my tomato sauce and a student asked me why. I said "because it tastes good." thanks so much for the feedback on shrimp.
What do you think of adding smoked Spanish paprika to gambas?
Thank you Helen. 👍🤗
They look brilliant, I'm giving those a go
It was delicious! I made a homemade bread and it was so gooood. Thank you, Helen.
Homemade bread -- how wonderful! Great job :)
Thanks!
Helen, I think I love you!
Excellent recipes.
😁
The Prawns and Shrimps and Olives Paella fabulous
Great channel. One thing I would like to point out is that the vein is the digestive track and can give you diarrhoea or can be extremely allergic to some.
what about dishes that require whole, head on, shell on shrimp? that's not common in the US but is very common in other countries. Obviously if you are allergic to the vein in the shrimp, that's not a good idea, but most people can eat it without any problems.
Our local caught shrimp scoop up sand with algae to feed, and much of the intestine is filled with fine grains of sand if they were recently feeding. I use my thumbnail to pinch it and pull it out from the body without cutting the meat. But sometime, if it looks relatively empty, just leave it in and cook it!
@@helenrennie #realcomment Hi Helen! Love your video and this channel! FYI If anyone wants to remove the digestive track from head-on shrimp for any reason, it can be hooked out by using a toothpick. This can be done even with the shell on since the shell is in segments. It's commonly done in Chinese and Japanese cooking since shrimp tends to be served whole with heads and shell on.
Helen of Boston. Ships to shore!
i approve your knife skill. GOOD JOB
hell'o ! and thank you! i eat this about every two months for breakfast as the wife sleeps and doesn't like the smell so i air out the kitchen for her. anyway i was watching again just to be watching, that it dawned on me that i never had it with the garlic tomatoe rub on bread toast you mentioned so i had to look up someones eles recipe for that as i didn't know how you make it.... soooo it made me want to ask you maybe you can show us your top five one slice of bread Appetizers or what goes good and easy with one slice of topped bread. i know this one now and Bruschetta and discovering tapas now ect which look like fun so whats your top easy five....?? love your show david
I think anything can go on bread, but my top favorites are mushroom puree called duxelles, caramelized onions and tomatoes confit, garlic shrimp, and romesco. I have videos for all of these, so just search on youtube.
@@helenrennie thank you will do
Yummy!!
I have watched now many of your videos and you always use Dimond crystal kosher salt..
Would you be so kind and mention why this is your favorite salt?? ☺️
Hello from Canada!

That looks great, thanks!
I've found lately the frozen Patagonian pink shrimp are really good.
Thank you. from Indonesia
So good!
My uncle used to flambe them with cognac or whiskey. It amplified the favor.
¡Gambas!😍
Muy bien hecho!
Que bueno! That is high cuisine!!! jajaja
We are most "rustics". In Spain is more popular for this dish the smaller ones and we use a clay pot and all ingredient in (garlic, to much garlic jaja Spain loves garlic in all dishes, prawns, gindilla or chillie and olive oil) That's for what i said 'high cuisine'
Next recipe all i oli? ;P (just garlic and olive oil mushed together)
Kisses from Valencia, Spain!!!! :D
You did a excellent job explaining how to do this plus you're easy on the eyes :-) very good looking.. If I lived near by I would ask you out...
Great and I'm hungry thanks lol
I love your channel! And I love Spanish food! Where are you from? I am Mexican...
I am Russian
Helen Rennie you are my new favorite RUclipsr! I love how you explain things and I can't wait to try your tortilla!

🤌🏽🤌🏽Delizioso 🤌🏽🤌🏽
I like your clip because you remove the shrimp tail
aceite, ajo, vino .guindilla (chile),gambas sal. perejil y.nada mas ..no limon .no azucar.....
¡Olé!
your beautiful. thanks :D I took your words, and im applying to my own cooking.
Amazing channel. +1 subscriber!!!!
great vid but i can almost bet the shrimp didnt take to sauce bc she didnt fly cut top of shrimps, ive made this mistake
For a moment I was in Barcelona...
Where’s the dry sherry wine?
So, what she made is a scampi. Toss in some while wine and looked pasta and shazam Scampi.
Why the sugar?
to compensate for the fact that the shrimp I have access to aren't as sweet as their counterparts in Spain. you are welcome to skip the sugar.
Wow u r so sweet
I am supot ok
What are people's thoughts on using paprika (smoked or not) for this dish?
That's not how it's done, but what am I going to know, being Spanish
I guess you know how to be a douche
Surprised to see sugar!
Because it's wrong
You forget something... What about the black thing i the tail...You Know...
Auch hier wurde Darm nicht entfernt Pfui
You didn’t clean your shrimp. Who wants to eat shrimp poop
Porque no lo hablan en Español?
Noooo!! that’s portuguese!!!!
It seems to me that the amount of garlic you use will simply kill off the taste of the shrimpl
wrong
U left the poo track inside is the shrimp 🍤 💩disgusting
Lolishous candy 5 in Spain they eat everything, they don't take it off
@@mariadelapurpura5407 It is.
@@mariadelapurpura5407 anatomically the "vein" is the intestine. So you know the content. It should be removed.
Sorry pretty lady, no way I'm eating shrimp poo.
Sorry your finished gambas isn't appealing.
기름을.. 너무 과다할 정도로 쓰는듯 한데..
That vein is actually their digestive tract, so it's actually their poop not their blood you'd eat 😂
