PATSY'S GARLIC & CHILLI PRAWNS



Patsy's garlic & chilli prawns image

Patsy first tried these amazing garlic and chilli prawns in Torremolinos in southern Spain, where she enjoyed them as part of a delicious tapas spread. Eaten by the sea with a glass of chilled white wine, this was the standout dish. These gorgeous prawns are super-easy to recreate at home; the beachfront setting is optional, but for maximum Spanish effect, the chilled wine and crusty bread are not!

Tips:

  • Use fresh prawns. Fresh prawns have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen prawns. If you're using frozen prawns, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Clean the prawns properly. Remove the heads, shells, and tails from the prawns. Then, devein the prawns by making a shallow cut along the back of each prawn and removing the black vein.
  • Marinate the prawns before cooking. Marinating the prawns in a mixture of spices, herbs, and oil helps to enhance their flavor. You can marinate the prawns for as little as 30 minutes or for up to overnight.
  • Cook the prawns quickly over high heat. Prawns are a delicate seafood, so they don't need to be cooked for long. Overcooking can make them tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the prawns immediately. Prawns are best served hot and fresh. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chili prawns is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chili prawns are flavorful, tender, and juicy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give chili prawns a try!
