Transfer the mixture to a shallow ceramic baking dish and let cool. Add the prawns and the chile to the garlicky oil, toss to coat them evenly, and refrigerate overnight, covered.

• Prepare the fried garlic:.
• In a heavy, 10-inch skillet, heat the oil over high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
