We have a Mexican - Spanish gambas pil pil. A very well known tapas dish. Visiting Mexico, we gathered it's not all chilli powder. The mexican recipes we have eaten are much more about ingredients with amazing spices. We love these two countries speaking spanish and eating spanish. They are meant to be fused together.
