Tapas or Appetizers• Langostinos con Salsa Rosa – Large

Prawns with Pink Sauce: This recipe is very easy and full of flavor. The langostinos or prawns are boiled, then served with a slightly spicy salsa rosa or pink sauce, made with mayonnaise, catsup and Tabasco. If you prefer a sauce without mayonnaise, try Spanish Romesco sauce, made with roasted red peppers, garlic, oil and vinegar. Either sauce goes well with shrimp or any seafood

Tapas or Appetizers• Gambas a la plancha (Pan-grilled

shrimp)

Christmas MenuPrimer Plato or First Course• Sopa de Pescado y Marisco – Fish

and Shellfish Soup: Spanish Sopa de Pescado y Marisco is a classic soup for the holidays. Shellfish is always part of the menu at any Spanish celebration and Christmas is no different. This soup is a wonderful start to a meal. Serve it piping hot with French bread slices.

Primer Plato or First Course• Creamy Spanish Prawn Soup Recipe -

Sopa de Carabineros, if you prefer a creamy soup rather than a broth-based one. It is full of "carabineros" (large shrimp) and fish, mixed with fish stock, half-and-half and tarragon.
