Ingredients

barra · shrimp · egg · garlic · olive oil · salt

The *Bocadillo de Revuelto de Gambas* is the seafood member of the scrambled-egg *revuelto* family, and its angle is brininess folded into richness. Shrimp bring a sweet, mineral, faintly saline note that the soft eggs carry without masking. Done well, it is the kind of sandwich that tastes of the coast: the eggs creamy and mild, the *gambas* punctuating each bite with a clean shellfish snap. It sits at the more indulgent end of the *revuelto* range, since shrimp and loose egg together read as luxurious even in a humble length of bread.

Order of operations protects the shrimp. Peeled *gambas* are cut into pieces if large and cooked briefly in hot olive oil with garlic, just until they turn opaque and curl, then the heat is lowered before the beaten eggs go in. Cooking the shrimp first and fast keeps them from going rubbery; folding them into eggs that finish on gentle heat means they warm through rather than overcook. The mixture is taken off while the egg is still loose and spooned into a split *barra* while warm. Good versions have plump, just-cooked shrimp suspended in barely set, glossy egg; sloppy ones have shrimp boiled to tough little erasers, or eggs scrambled dry so the whole thing turns to a stiff, joyless filling. A touch of the garlicky pan oil carried into the bread ties it together.

Variations are mostly about the shellfish and the accents around it. Small peeled *gambas* give an even distribution through the egg; larger prawns make a more dramatic, chunkier sandwich. A little chopped parsley or a hint of chili added with the garlic sharpens it without competing. Some cooks finish with a few drops of lemon, which lifts the shrimp but should be used sparingly so the bread does not turn damp. The plain *bocadillo de revuelto* and the blood-sausage *revuelto de morcilla* are siblings with entirely different profiles and deserve their own articles rather than being crowded in here.
