10 min

Garlicky, spicy sizzling prawns. Make sure you serve this with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the delicious, garlicky oil!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp La Chinata mild paprika
  • 1-2 tsp La Chinata hot smoked pepper flakes
  • 100ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 large raw prawns, shelled
  • 2 garlic cloves

Method

Thinly slice garlic. Season prawns with a sprinkle of mild La Chinata paprika.
Heat the oil in a skillet over a medium heat and add the garlic and hot pepper flakes. Cook for around 2-3 minutes, until garlic begins to turn golden.
Add prawns and increase heat to high. Turn prawns as they start to turn pink.
Stir continuously as sauce begins to boil and ensure the prawns are fully cooked through.
To serve, top with further hot smoked pepper flakes (optional).
