Seafood Gambas
2.0
at WPRO Cafeteria (Al Fresco)
-Malate, Manila-
with meeting participants
Whereas “gambas” refers to shrimp in Spanish (see for example 5.017 Gambas al Ajillo), the term here in the Philippines can apply to any seafood sautéed with garlic.
Kinda like how “scampi” can refer specifically to shrimp in Italian or more broadly in English to any dish sautéed in garlic and butter (see for example 2.041 Shrimp-Shiitake-Broccoli Scampi).

The occasion was a welcome reception for participants of a nutrition consultation.
