Gambas Al Ajillo With Crab Roe Paste (Taba Ng Talangka)

Gambas Al Ajillo With Crab Roe Paste (Taba Ng Talangka) Recipe

This used to be a treat for me growing up, the shrimp should be reason enough to love this recipe but the sauce is to die for.. Garlic and Chili infused olive oil with a splash of lemon and "heaven on earth" crab roe paste can be sooo good enough to drag your bread into it or a spoonful with hot rice.. The Crab paste adds another layer of flavour that compliments the tang of the lemon and the sweetness of the olive oil. You can find it at most asian supermarkets
