This gamberi recipe was passed down from Anna’s father, who was famous in their family for his barbecue cookery.
“I can remember watching my dad make this recipe,” she says in Gregg’s Italian Family Cookbook, her new cookbook with husband Gregg Wallace. “They tasted so good that I even sucked the juices from the heads. It’s a messy dish to eat, but so worth it.”
