ABC+ - Wild Shrimp In Spicy Olive Oil & Garlic - 120 g

ABC+ wild shrimp in spicy olive oil and garlic is a tinned tribute to the Portuguese tavern classic "Gambas à Guilho." This preparation highlights the superior snap and sweetness of wild-caught Atlantic shrimp through a traditional infusion of garlic and heat.

Craft & Origin

ABC+ sources these small shrimp from the Atlantic, prioritizing wild-caught quality over the softer texture of industrial farmed varieties. Following traditional Portuguese methods, the shrimp are hand-cleaned and carefully packed at a boutique facility. The sauce is a technical recreation of the "À Guilho" style, using premium olive oil infused with sliced garlic and piri-piri chilis. This small-scale production avoids the mechanical processing of mass-market preserves, focusing on manual labor to ensure the delicate shrimp remain intact and firm. Each tin reflects a commitment to regional culinary legitimacy and technical canning precision.

Flavor & Texture

Small, firm, and succulent with a distinct "pop" characteristic of wild shrimp. Pungent savory garlic notes balanced by a clean, sharp chili heat.

How to Use

Serve alongside warm, crusty bread to soak up the garlic-infused oil, or toss with al dente pasta and fresh parsley.
