Sizzling Garlic Prawns

As a lover of all things Spanish this is one of my absolute favourites. It is very close to what you will find served in Lanzarote.

Ingredients

• 2 packs of frozen raw King Prawns
• 4 Tablespoons of finely chopped Garlic (Easy Garlic is fine)
• 4 Cloves of Garlic
• 4 dried Chillies
• 1 Tablespoon of Salt
• 200ml of Olive Oil
• 1 Tablespoon of Fino Sherry (optional)

Preparation

• Defrost the prawns – if you need to do this quickly put the bags in your kitchen sink, cover in really hot water, and hold them under the water by dropping a dinner plate on top of them.
• When they are defrosted tip them onto a clean tea towel or kitchen roll and pat them dry. They should be as dry as you can get them.
• Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

Method

1. Put a frying pan on a very high heat and then drop the salt in.
2. Add the olive oil, 4 tablespoons of the chopped garlic, and the dried chillies.
3. As soon as the chopped garlic starts to fizz and the oil is bubbling carefully add the thinly sliced garlic and the prawns.
4. Keep an eye on the prawns and as soon as they are pink all the way through carefully add the sherry.
5. Shake the pan and remove it from the heat.
6. Spoon the sizzling oil and prawns with the garlic and chillies equally into bowls.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley if you are using it.
8. Serve with crusty bread and soft salted butter.
