Four servings: 400 g of peeled prawns; 10 garlic cloves, sliced; 1 red chili,
sliced; 8-10 tbsp of olive and & salt.
Preparation: Heat the oil in a casserole or frying pan; add the red chili and the
garlic slices; let both ingredients simmer 2-3 minutes, until the garlic browns a
bit. Next, add the prawns, wait 2 minutes (until they change in color) on a mildto-high fire, salt to taste and remove the pan from the fire and serve the prawns
in small earthenware casseroles.
If you use frozen prawns (which is quite normal) do as follow before frying them:
Defrost the prawns in the fridge to avoid an abrupt change of temperature. Next,
heat water in a pot and bring it to a boil, and then add the prawns in it, wait no
more than 60 sec and move them to a bowl with ice cold water. This is to avoid
that prawns do let out juices during the frying process, otherwise it would be
necessary to prolong unnecessarily the cooking until the juices evaporate.
