Herby Prawns

These are ridiculously tasty! You HAVE to eat these with your fingers as part of the enjoyment is the finger licking at the end!

I use shell on prawns, I then remove the shell, leaving the tail on, remove the vein and then butterfly the prawns to maximise the surface area for the marinade to cover.

Serves 4.

Ingredients

1kg prawns, shells removed, deveined and butterflied

120mls olive oil

3 garlic cloves

handful fresh parsley

handful fresh oregano

zest of 1 lemon

juice of 2 lemons

salt and pepper

Method

Process the oil, garlic, parsley, oregano, zest, juice, salt and pepper.

Combine the prawns and dressing in a large bowl and allow to marinade for 30 minutes.

Cook in a frying pan or on the barbecue flat plate over high heat until the prawn meat is cooked through.

Serve immediately.

Oven Baked Garlic Prawns

Who doesn’t love garlicky prawns?

I make these as part of a tapas meal and, as the oven is on for other things to bake I figure the prawns can go in too and save me washing another pan!

Serves 2 as a starter.

Ingredients

10 extra large prawns, peeled, tail attached and deveined

2 large garlic cloves, finely sliced

2 teaspoons olive oil

salt and pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Centigrade.

Mix the prawns, garlic, oil, salt and pepper in an oven proof dish.

Pop the prawns into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Serve immediately.
