Total Time:
15 minutes

Step 1: You will need

  • 360 g large prawns, peeled and de-veined with tails left on
  • 60 ml olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped finely
  • 1 tsp dried red chilli flakes
  • 60 ml brandy
  • 3 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 lime, to garnish
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 small knife
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 medium cooking pot with lid

Step 2: Heat the oil and garlic

Place the medium pot on the hob and turn to a high heat. Add the oil and garlic and leave to cook for one minute.

Step 3: Cook the prawns

Before the garlic browns, add in the prawns and stir. Cook for one minute and add the brandy and chilli flakes. Allow it to bubble, cover, and leave for a few minutes, shaking the pan occasionally. When the prawns are cooked remove form the heat.

Step 4: Garnish and serve

Cut the lime into wedges. Transfer the prawns onto a serving plate and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the coriander leaves and add a drizzle of lime juice and oil. Garnish with the lime wedges and serve.

    Olive oil does not like high heat. Use grapeseed oil or coconut oil instead for all dishes that call for very hot oil

    I agree, prawns or shrimp that are pre-cooked can NEVER be substituted for raw.. in fact, I don't think there is anything I would want them for! They just have so much better flavor if you cook them fresh. This is a nice recipe. Garlic and prawns were made for each other! :)

    No, no no. You can't substitute cooked shrimp or prawns for raw!!! It changes everything!!

    I have just bought a pack of ready cooked king prawns. I suppose I can just heat them up in the garlicky oil?
