PATSY'S GARLIC & CHILLI PRAWNS

Steps:

• Peel the garlic and finely chop with the chilli (deseed if you like). Pick and finely chop the parsley leaves.
• Drizzle the oil into a shallow heatproof terracotta dish or a small frying pan over a medium-high heat, add the garlic and chilli and fry for 30 seconds to flavour the oil, before stirring in the paprika.
• Add the prawns and fry for 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through, adding most of the parsley when you turn the prawns.
• Squeeze half the lemon juice into the dish, then remove from the heat and sprinkle over the remaining parsley and a pinch of sea salt.
• Serve sizzling with warm crusty bread, the remaining lemon cut wedges for squeezing over, and a glass of good Spanish wine.

CHILLI PRAWNS

Steps:

• Devein and clean the prawns well. Rinse them under running water.
• Add sugar and salt to a bowl. Pour 1 cup of water. Stir well and add the prawns to this liquid.
• Set aside for 30 mins, meanwhile proceed with other preparation.

• Heat oil in a pan and fry the prawns on a medium heat. Gently flipping to and fro. Since they are brined the cooking time reduces to half. So they just get done under 3 mins, though it depends on the size of the prawns. The prawns swril and take a C shape when are done. Do not overcook they will turn hard and rubbery.
• By then the flour coated over the prawns turn crisp. Set these aside to a absorbent tissue.
• Clear up the pan and add more oil. Saute garlic until fragrant. Add chilies, capsicum and onion cubes or spring onions. Sprinkle very little salt and sugar.
• Saute on a high flame just for one to 2 mins until the bell peppers are half cooked yet retain their crunch.
• Add chilli sauce, chilli paste, soya sauce, vinegar and pepper. You will also need to add 2 tbsps of water.
• Mix and allow the sauces to bubble. Taste this and add more spice or sauce if you like.
• Switch off the stove and add the prawns.
• Toss well and add spring onion greens if you have in hand.
• Serve chilli prawns immediately to enjoy the crust.
