Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil use good Spanish olive oil if possible
  • 4 cloves garlic sliced finely
  • ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 200 g raw prawns
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley finely chopped

To Serve:

  • Fresh crusty bread

Instructions
 

  • Put the olive oil into a cold frying pan and add the sliced garlic and chilli flakes. Place the pan over a medium heat and allow the oil to gently heat up until it’s sizzling. Once the oil is sizzling, cook the garlic for 1 more minute. Take care, as garlic can easily burn if cooked too long.
  • Add the prawns, bring back to sizzling and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring a few times, until the prawns are pink all over and starting to curl.
  • Season with salt and pepper and squeeze over the juice of half a lemon, stir the prawns one last time and then turn the heat off.
  • Sprinkle with the paprika and parsley and serve immediately, while still sizzling.
  • Serve with crusty bread and Fino Sherry for a delicious and impressive starter.
