One of my personal favourites, which can either be a small tapa or a starter, and it can be as spicy as you desire.
10 medium prawns, peeled, uncooked
1 teaspoon coarse salt
3 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 piece dried red chilli pepper, seeded, or 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch paprika
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Heat oil in pan over high heat. Add garlic and dried pepper and stir. Add the prawns and stir until just cooked through, about 1 – 2 minutes. Add salt and parsley and toss over heat for 1 minute. Transfer to serving dish with the oil. Sprinkle with paprika. Serve with crusty bread.
