Gambas Al Ajillo

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS:

2 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, sliced

½ tsp dried chilli flakes

6 fresh raw prawns or 12 shrimps, raw shrimps, peeled with tails on

Juice of 1 lemon

1 tbsp flat leaf parsley, chopped

2 slices of sourdough bread

Sea salt, freshly ground

black pepper

METHOD:

1. Place a frying pan over a medium heat and pour in the olive oil. Next, stir in the sliced garlic and dried chilli flakes and cook for one minute, then tip in the fresh prawns or shrimps. Season with salt and pepper, toss and cook for a minute on each side, until they just turn pink.

2. While still over the high heat, pour the juice of one lemon over the cooked prawns and sprinkle over the chopped flat leaf parsley, and toss.

3. Toast or griddle the sliced sourdough bread and place them on your serving dishes. Drizzle a little good-quality extra virgin olive oil over the toasts and spoon the prawns on top, scooping up all the juices from the pan to trickle over the dish.
