"A typical recipe found at any Tapas Bar. This is flavorful and goes perfectly with good crusty bread and a glass of wine. Be sure and have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go in the pan."

This was a wonderful and easy appetizer to serve along with Recipe#374335#347335 and recipe#369734#369734 and one I will make again this holiday season. Great flavors and wonderful on toasted bread.

These were the best champignones al ajillo I ever had!<br/>I used Santo Domingo Mild Spanish Smoked Paprika (Dulce Pimenton de la Vera) and I suppose this was the most important secret of this delish.<br/>I did not use broth but simple 1/2 teaspoon powder for broth.<br/>Thanks a lot for this recipe!

These mushrooms are tasty. I used less oil. We liked the extra squeeze of lemon over them.
