Gambas al ajillo

Instructions

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

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

3- Season with a little sea salt.

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

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

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.
