Caballitos

Caballitos are a traditional Murcian seafood dish made from fresh prawns or shrimp. These prawns are typically skewered on small wooden sticks (hence the name "caballitos," which means "little horses" in Spanish) and then lightly battered and fried until golden and crispy.


The dish is commonly enjoyed as a tapa, often served with a squeeze of lemon and sometimes accompanied by a dipping sauce.
