Wakako al Ajillo

April 12, 2016 by Vitia Simone in Covers

I've been watching a lot of "Wakakozake." You can find it as a manga, an anime and a live action show. It follows the food adventures of a 20-something professional living in Tokyo. Wakako love food and alcohol, and she eats the most delicious foods whilst waxing philosophical about matching shochu with seafoods. 

In one episode of the live action (also known as a "Drama") she orders Gambas al Ajillo. The garlicy oil causes her to go through her crusty bread before finishing the shrimp, much to her embarrassment. Fortunately she gets more bread, and more wine and finishes the dish with relish. 

If there's one weakness Tom and I have, it's an Asian Drama showcasing tasty food. So needless to say I made this purely because of Wakako. 

Serious Eats has a very easy recipe if you want to make it yourself. It's quick enough for a weeknight too.
