Garlic Prawns

So simple, yet so full of flavour – an exquisite Mediterranean starter or main. Leave the prawns in their shells whilst cooking first, to protect the tender flesh from over cooking and second, the shells impart a more concentrated umami flavour to the sauce. Serve with plenty of gluten free black bean noodles or crusty bread to mop up the sauce. This dish is only as delicious as the ingredients you use – so try to buy the best prawns you can get.

 
  • 100 g Olive oil
  • 6 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/3 tsp Dried chilli flakes
  • 300 g Shell-on giant black tiger prawns (thawed if frozen)
  • 2-3 tbsp Dry sherry
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Parsley, finely chopped
  • Sea salt
  • Gluten free black bean noodles, to serve (or crusty bread)
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
  1. Warm the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-low heat and gently cook the garlic for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
  2. Stir in the smoked paprika, chilli, prawns and sherry. Turn the heat up slightly, and cook for 2-3 more minutes until the prawns turn pink.
  3. Squeeze in the lemon juice, parsley and a good pinch of salt. Serve with black bean noodles or crusty bread for mopping up the flavoured oil and lemon wedges.

    Si puedo permanecer parada en la cocina; esto me lo voy a hacer y degustar, tal como me encanta comer productos del mar.
    Sobresaliente receta!
    Eres una genia Angie!
    Aún sin recuperación total. Por eso no estoy presente con mayor frecuencia como mereces.
    Va mi abrazo a tu encuentro.

    Un plato muy rico, al leer sus ingredientes me ha gustado más, es saciante sin llenar demasiado pero yo me pondría una buena ración.

    smoked paprika would add such a great flavour here. Sadly hubby doesn't eat seafood so i am doomed to only eat it when out! :=) This sounds so delicious.

    This sounds delicious. I will have to use shrimp rather than prawns but the flavor will be similar.

    This food looks delicious, and in another view, the black bean noodles and prawns are such a great color contrasts.

    I agree with leaving the shells on the prawns - so much more flavors, so delicious! I tried black bean noodles before, thought they taste quite good :)

    This is the kind of dish that turns a regular weeknight into a little Mediterranean holiday.
