Background

During warm evenings in the Summer at drink-parties the rest of the year I find tapas the most satisfying snacks. I particularly love the classic Spanish Garlic prawns (Gambas Al Ajillo) - I almost always order it in a Tapas bar. At home, I like to experiment adding different herbs and spices. This pan-fried garlic and thyme prawns is one of my variations. It’s super quick and easy to make - perfect nibble with aperitif or as a starter in a dinner menu.

Ingredients

350g raw prawns in shell
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
½ tsp dried chilli flakes
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 lemon, zested & juiced

Instructions

Thinly slice the garlic.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then gently cook the garlic, chilli flakes and thyme leaves fo a minute or so, making sure they don’t burn.
Add the prawns (in their shells), stir-fry, then add the lemon zest and juice. Put a lid on and steam over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until the prawns have just turned pink.
Serve warm.
