Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a small frying pan over high heat until shimmering.

Step 2.
Add the thinly sliced garlic and finely chopped red chilli to the hot oil. Sizzle gently for a few seconds until the garlic just begins to take on a hint of color, being careful not to burn it.
-
Step 3.
Add the peeled prawns to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 30 seconds, turning once, until the prawns are golden on the outside yet still moist and opaque inside.
-
Step 4.
Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped flat-leaf parsley over the prawns and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top.
-
Step 5.
Serve the prawns immediately while still sizzling hot, with crusty bread on the side.
