Spaghetti and prawns (Espaguetis con gambas)
Ingredients: 300 g of Spaghetti; 3 garlic cloves; ¼ kilo of
peeled prawns; olive oil; 1 chili; some parsley, chopped.
Preparation: Cook the spaghetti in boiling water with a pinch of
salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
When "al dente" -about 6 minutes of cooking- cool them under
cold running water, drain, sprinkle with a little olive oil and set
aside. Brown the garlic slices and the chili in a frying pan; next
add the prawns (tip: to avoid they release liquid, which would
boil them rather fry them, blanch them in boiling water for only
12 sec, cool them down to stop the cooking process and set
aside for a future use). This done, add the spaghetti, mill well,
add some black pepper (optional), sauté for a few sec, sprinkle
some finely chopped parsley and serve on the spot.
