This is again a quick and easy to make started which requires fresh prawns (ideally, small to medium size) and a good olive oil. The rest is as simple as garlic and chili. That's about it!
For another quick starter recipe with shrimp/prawns, please check this previous post. They're almost similar.
Ingredients
Serves 2
Prep: 1 min - Cooking : 2 min
- 500 g of fresh prawns, small to medium size, peeled
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely sliced or chopped
- 1 tbsp of parley, very finely chopped (optional)
- Salt to taste
- 1 small dried red chili, discard the seeds for less heat
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
Preparation
The result of this recipe is a hot tender prawn which is very pleasant to eat. It's important you don't over-fry it as this would ruin the texture. Basically, the moment we add the prawns to the hot oil, we just knock off the heat.
