Let’s make something delicious

  • Step One

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan) or Gas mark 7. In an overproof dish large enough to hold the prawns in a single layer (or use two smaller dishes), pour in the olive oil. Add the garlic and crushed chilli to the oil.

  • Step Two

    Place the dish(es) in the preheated oven and heat for about 5 minutes, until the oil is very hot and the garlic begins to soften and turn golden brown.

  • Step Three

    Quickly add the pawns to the hot oil. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, and return the dish to the oven for other 5 minutes, or until the prawns are pink and cooked through.

  • Step Four

    Remove from the oven, scatter with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
