Gambas Pil Pil (Sizzling garlic and chilli prawns)

Gambas Pil Pil

When it rains it pours in Sydney. This is the first rainy day I remember all year. I'm driving home in torrential rain, grateful that everyone else is driving slowly too. All I can see are the rows of red tail-lights glistening ahead on the wet road and suddenly I'm reminded of England. The wet roads, the traffic, the dark sky and the rain! I have just purchased half a kilo of fresh green prawns from Sydney Fish Market and can't wait to cook them. As I sit in my car, in the rain, listening to "Clocks" by Coldplay, I'm reminded of our favourite tapas dish that we used to love in a Spanish restaurant in London. Feeling nostalgic as I am at this moment I decide that that's what we're going to have for dinner tonight.

Now the beauty of this delicious dish is that it is so quick to make. It takes less than five minutes! It has just seven basic ingredients that don't require much preparation at all. I've used fresh, cleaned, deveined prawns with the tails intact.

A good few slices of bread is definitely needed to lap up the delicious juices.

Prepare this dish immediately before eating. It's meant to be brought to the table sizzling.

Alter the quantity of garlic and chilli to your taste. My quantities are merely suggestions. Garnish with parsley and serve with warm bread to dip in the delicious juices. Enjoy!
