Revuelto de Champinones y Gambas "Scrambled Eggs with Mushrooms and Shrimp"
Revuelto de Champinones y Gambas is another classic Spanish recipe. Revueltos are a very common dish in Spain and there are many variations. Essentially, they are dishes containing vegetable or fish with scrambled eggs.
This dish is commonly enjoyed as a tapa and you will find it in many good tapas bars. You can also have revueltos with asparagus, artichokes, cod, etc. I will add more of these nice recipes over time.
