Sara’s Weeknight Meals: Season 13

Episode 1306: Barcelona; Gaudi, Gin and Gambas

If having gin and tonics in the shadow of the iconic Sagreda Familia caps your dream day in Barcelona, we’ve got you covered. I join ex-pat food journalist Matt Goulding (‘Eat This, Not That’) to mix the city’s favorite drink, and we make easy Catalan dishes like Gambas Al Ajillo, a yummy garlic shrimp to start, then a local classic roast pork with Romesco Sauce. At home, I whip up my own Spanish dish, Shrimp Fideo, a version of paella using toasted noodles instead of rice.
