Servings: 1 main, 2 starters

Pil Pil prawns are a Spanish tapas favourite. A simple easy, and tasty starter or main course, that is perfect for sharing, but even more delicious when kept to yourself!

Ingredients

180 grams fresh large prawns
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
One small dried chilli finely chopped, or 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
One teaspoon paprika
A pinch of cayenne pepper
Two small cloves fresh garlic, finely sliced
Olive oil
Salt to taste

Instructions

De-vein the prawns if necessary.
Heat enough olive oil to cover the base of a frying pan and gently fry the garlic and chilli.
Add the cayenne and paprika.
Add the prawns, frying until only just cooked.
Season with salt to taste and serve immediately, topping with fresh parsley

Notes

One of my favourite light-lunches, perfect served with crusty bread, or flatbreads, to soak up all the delicious flavoured oil, or a simple side salad for those more health conscious. Experiment with fresh or dried herbs - oregano, coriander, dill, and fresh chilli work great with the prawns. These are also great on bruschetta, spooned over cool ricotta.
