The 10 Best Shrimp Dishes In Philadelphia

"When you order the gambas al ajillo from Old City’s Amada, it will be so hot that you’ll see the sauce simmering and plumes of steam rising from the clay bowl. Since it’s our go-to Spanish spot in town, we’re down for just about anything they conjure up with shrimp here–from their saffron rice bowl to tossing them in a spicy paella– but it's their garlic shrimp that we look forward to more than our vacation plans. They’re plump, perfectly lemony, and covered in herby flakes of parsley. And since the bowl comes with toasty bread to sop up the rest of the sauce, we usually don’t leave a drop behind." - candis mclean, alison kessler
