Gambas al ajillo

About This Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   step 1 Peel the prawns, leaving the tails intact, and, using a cocktail stick, remove the digestive tracts.

2. 2

   Or, if you are using a frying pan rather than a terracotta pot, you can cook the prawns in their shells.

3. 3

   Season with a little sea salt.

4. 4

   step 2 Put the garlic, olive oil and chillies in a flameproof terracotta pot or frying pan and set over a high heat.

5. 5

   When the garlic starts to turn golden, add the prawns and cook for 1-2 mins on each side until just pink.

6. 6

   Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and some freshly cracked black pepper, and serve immediately.

7. 7

   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.
