Seafood
Gambas al ajillo is a Seafood recipe from the Spanish tradition, as recorded in TheMealDB. The ingredients and the method below are the recorded ones. This site does not state preparation time, servings, difficulty or equipment, because the source does not record them.
Method
- Step 1. Peel the prawns, leaving the tails intact, and, using a cocktail stick, remove the digestive tracts. Or, if you are using a frying pan rather than a terracotta pot, you can cook the prawns in their shells. Season with a little sea salt.
- Step 2. Put the garlic, olive oil and chillies in a flameproof terracotta pot or frying pan and set over a high heat. When the garlic starts to turn golden, add the prawns and cook for 1-2 mins on each side until just pink. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and some freshly cracked black pepper, and serve immediately. If using a terracotta pot, you can take that straight to the table, but be careful with it as the oil and terracotta will remain hot for several minutes.
