Prawns Peri-Peri
- 18-24 large prawns (large shrimp)
- 200 g (3/4 cup) butter
- 10 ml (2 teaspoons) crushed garlic
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) lemon juice
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) peri-peri sauce (recipe below)
- salt, milled black pepper
- 50 g (1 1/2 ounces) red chillies, very finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, crushed
- 500 ml (2 cups) olive oil
- pared rind of 1 small lemon (use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin in thin strips)
- Mix the ingredients together in a bottle and shake well.
- You can make the sauce ahead and store it in the fridge; the flavour improves with age, reaching its peak at two weeks.
- Slit prawns down their backs and devein.
- Leave heads on, or remove them if you prefer.
- Depending on the size of your frying pan, cook them in one or two batches.
- Heat the butter gently and add the garlic and lemon juice.
- Don't let the garlic burn.
- Add prawns and peri-peri sauce.
- (Shake first to make sure you get some of the chilli and garlic as well.)
- Sizzle for 4-5 minutes, turning frequently, until cooked.
- Season with salt and pepper and tip into a warm serving bowl.
- Garnish, if you wish, with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve with rice or bread and butter.
