Notes
- For a more traditional dish, add some fresh finely chopped red pepper to the oil before adding the prawns, or a sprinkle of red chilli flakes before serving.
- Keep this dish simple by serving with warm crusty bread to dip into the oil.
- These prawns are best cooked fresh and not reheated.
- We sprinkled parsley on ours before serving, however you could use coriander instead.
