If ever there were a simple, make-ahead tapa, this is it! First, prepare a Spanish sauce or two, like rich, delicious romesco sauce, made with roasted red peppers, almonds and olive oil. Then, boil whole “langostinos” and cool. Serve the sauces on the side and let everyone peel and dip the “langostinos” in the sauce of their choice!
This langostino recipe makes 6 servings.
