I "discovered" this bar and its Gambas Al Ajillo on a Devour Spain tour and it was an instant favorite. On a recent trip to Europe I arranged my travels to spend one night in Madrid so I could return to Abuelo's! And Mesón del Champiñón...
I do that all the time, but add just a little tomato and shrimp stock. Cousins, I would say but I shall try it like this as well. Thanks, and I enjoy your vids.
Thanks so much for this video. I had this dish at Casa del Abuelo while on a Devour tour last year and was so happy to be able to make it at home. Just made it for visiting friends who had done the Devour tour with me-brought back memories of a wonderful tour!
Paula one of your Devour guides, took us to this bar on our food tour in Madrid. The shrimp was so good maybe my favorite food item on the tour. Thank you James for doing this video I really wanted to make this after I got home. And Paula is the best. If I can still make my trip this August I am going to take the tour again. She really made the tour a great experience.
OMG, my favorite place in Madrid! I’d go here first thing to get this when visiting on business and have two or three:). The bar tenders and I would go back and forth buying each other beer:). I went to often they got to know me:)
OMG!!! we love Casa del abuelo. We will be in Madrid on Wednesday so will be heading there and to Botins as well. We love both places and head there whenever we are in Madrid...
Thanks Charlie! Glad you enjoyed it. One more I'm editing right now. Plus another filming in a couple of weeks - so they should start to come a little more regularly now!
James, you are a gem and your videos are great! I feel more prepared for my Madrid trip coming up in the Sept/October. Your Spanish is excellent btw! I look forward to your future uploads
Wow! We made the trip to La Casa del Abuelo. Javi served us, the Gambas were magnificient. We did not have a bad meal in Madrid! On the train to Valencia right now. Looking forward to paella, then 4 nights in Barcelona!! Cheers, David
So glad David! They totally delicious. And Javi is great. Enjoy the rest of your trip... a few ideas for Barcelona here: th-cam.com/video/IqFHyZn1Kyw/w-d-xo.html
You can use Cayena (Cayenne), is the typical spicy peper we usually use to do at home. Alternatively, if you have access to red chilly should be close but you will have to add a bigger piece. Just make sure is very red and completely dehidrated.
You cannot fail if you add a big quantity, worst case add more garlic and a bit more cayenne if you see its too much oil, you will see the recipies show the srimp diving in the olive oil.

Thanks for the comprehensive illustration of what real Ajillo is made in Spain. Subtitle is a little bit too big, and sometimes block the scene
Will be buying one of those pots and trying this soon :)
Great recipe. I love to make this and i also add Spanish paprika.
Thanks You!!! Definitely making this recipe this weekend.
Enjoy!!
OMG!!! we love Casa del abuelo. We will be in Madrid on Wednesday so will be heading there and to Botins as well. We love both places and head there whenever we are in Madrid...
I am going to make this now. I am considering how many shrimps should I put 6 or 12
OMG! That looks so incredibly delicious! I love Olive Oil, I love Garlic and I LOVE Shrimp!!
Thank you! And yes, it is!
Yes! James I've been on the lookout for a new video! Fantastic! Keep them coming!
Thanks Charlie! Glad you enjoyed it. One more I'm editing right now. Plus another filming in a couple of weeks - so they should start to come a little more regularly now!

Thank you very much! And yes, La Casa del Abuelo is legendary!
Genial y estupendo tu video!!

Wow! You sound like a real spanish!
Gracias!
Excellent! I hope you got some more bread to soak up the good oil :-)
+tonydeltablues sure did Tony!
what kind of pepper is in the plate with the olive oil? Trying to see if its a pepper that available here in California
You can use Cayena (Cayenne), is the typical spicy peper we usually use to do at home. Alternatively, if you have access to red chilly should be close but you will have to add a bigger piece. Just make sure is very red and completely dehidrated.
Should do more of these ?
Ment to say great video !
haha thanks James!
What if we don't have a cazuela? And, how much oil to use?
You cannot fail if you add a big quantity, worst case add more garlic and a bit more cayenne if you see its too much oil, you will see the recipies show the srimp diving in the olive oil.
Quick question! What’s a pot he cooking in?
Which Casa del Abuelo is that?, I used to go in the one near Goya and it isnt that one
It's the one in Calle Victoria! The original one. :) Thanks for watching.
Exactly - shrimps, any way you like! :)
Hey James ! What kind of bread is it ?
+Glenn Stubbs hi mate - ideally something crusty on the outside and soft in the middle
I don’t see the recipe James. Hopefully no extra hidden ingredients, like lemon or sherry as some recipes use.
☆☆☆ .... what else?
What else would you like?? 💪
Spain Revealed - James Blick
I couldn't add anything more... you got 3 Michelin stars, max. Regards.
Haha - thank you!
Wow. So much oil.
+Gary Johnson haha true! Good oil though!
Looks delicious! The ugliest leather jacket I've ever seen ;-)
Haha
U move your head and blink too much. It gives me anxiety
