Tapas Series: Prawn Pil Pil

I loooove prawns!!! I also love garlic and spice so this dish is a favourite of mine when it comes to tapas! If this isn't on the menu then I will sulk!

This dish comes out with the sauce still sizzling so it's all very theatrical and exciting! You must have some crusty bread to soak up all of the delicious sauce!!

Ingredients:

• 500g raw king prawns
• 500ml olive oil
• 3 tbsp. butter
• 6 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (add more if you like it really spicy!)

Peel the prawns but leave the tails on. Heat the oil and butter together in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Once it starts to foam, add the garlic and chilli flakes. Stir and cook the garlic for a minute or two until golden brown.

Add the prawns and cook for around 3 minutes, or until they turn pink on both sides. Sprinkle with the paprika and pour into a serving dish.
