Gambari: Cleaning, Cooking, and Recipes

The gambari, a select shrimp with a tiger-striped body and firm flesh, is considered one of the most interesting native shrimp. When fresh gambari are found, especially from Amvrakikos, they are worth buying immediately.

There are many cooking options: grilled over charcoal, fried, or boiled. In the taverns of Menidi Amvrakikos, trying all three versions highlights the advantages of each. The grilled one has smoky aromas, the fried one offers a crispy texture, while the boiled one highlights the pure taste of the shrimp, ideally with a little lemon and oil.

Simplicity in cooking highlights the gastronomic value of gambari.
