gambas al ajillo salad

So this was something simple and delicious. Wanted some gambas, wanted a salad, so this happened. I actually show two versions here. The original is above, which was made with chopped cashews. The other one I tried with just a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Both were great. And it’s fast and easy. This is just for one person, so just up the quantity for mre.

And I used manzanilla sherry, but you could also use fino or any other dry white wine.
