Ingredients

0/5 prepped

Raw King Prawns
12
Garlic Clove
3
Olive Oil
100 ml
Cayenne Pepper
3
Parsley
1 tablespoon chopped

Preparation Instructions

Read all instructions before beginning prep work.

step 1 Peel the prawns, leaving the tails intact, and, using a cocktail stick, remove the digestive tracts. Or, if you are using a frying pan rather than a terracotta pot, you can cook the prawns in their shells. Season with a little sea salt.

step 2 Put the garlic, olive oil and chillies in a flameproof terracotta pot or frying pan and set over a high heat. When the garlic starts to turn golden, add the prawns and cook for 1-2 mins on each side until just pink. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and some freshly cracked black pepper, and serve immediately. If using a terracotta pot, you can take that straight to the table, but be careful with it as the oil and terracotta will remain hot for several minutes.
