Note: Something a little different on the back of this one, instead of the classic Smooth Ray signature. This is a truly special Smooth Ray Original — and a pretty amazing bottle of olive oil.
Good olive oil is important, particularly in a dish like gambas al ajillo, which has only 3 ingredients: shrimp, garlic and olive oil. Smooth Ray lived in Barcelona for a brief time, and often had meals of garlicky shrimp and the ubiquitous bocadilla de tortilla.
