The cook, step by step.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Light the BBQ and set it for direct heat around 200 to 220 degrees Celsius. Put a cast iron skillet on the BBQ so it gets hot.

    BBQ temperature: 220°C
  2. 2

    Step 2

    Grill first the pieces of baguette on both sides while the cast iron skillet warms up. Once the pan is at temperature we add the olive oil and let it get to temperature.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    When the oil is at temperature we add the garlic, ground chili and paprika powder. We stir this well and let it bake until the garlic is slightly golden. Then add the shrimp and bake for about 2 minutes per side. In the meantime, we move the skillet over the grate so that the flavors can mix and bind nicely.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    If the shrimp is well cooked (if they are no longer transparent) then we take the skillet off the barbecue and serve the gamba pill with the olive oil and some baguettes immediately after preparation. Get it over with!
