Ingredients
6 large (about 5-6cm long) fresh prawns per person, shells on
Fresh garlic and chilli to taste (this is definitely an individual preference)
1 tbsp olive oil
A squeeze of fresh lime
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
Rocket leaves and fresh crusty bread to serve
Method
1. Chop lots of fresh garlic and chilli to taste.
2. Toss the garlic and chilli in olive oil in a big frying pan.
3. Once hot, add the gambas.
4. Let them sizzle and turn them until they’re orange – this will probably take about 4 minutes.
5. Add a squeeze of lime and a few turns of black pepper.
6. Serve on small plates with a few rocket leaves and crusty bread to mop up with.
Enjoy with a cold Fino sherry, chilled Verdejo white wine or a cold beer.
