Prawns Pil Pil is a typically Spanish dish consisting of prawns sautéed in garlic, olive oil and chilli. Pil Pil is one of my favourite Spanish delicacy’s. It is usually served sizzling in small ceramic dishes and smells absolutely fantastic.
To make:
Heat half a cup of olive oil in an earthenware dish or frying pan over a high heat. Add 1 chilli (fresh or dried- if you would like to use fresh chillies and live in London I recommend the chillies from Borough Market) cook for 1 to 2 minutes making sure that they do not burn. Then add a pinch of salt, 350g of prawns and 4 gloves of finely sliced garlic and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes at a brisk pace. Finally, stir in a handful of chopped parsley.
Serve with fresh bread, a wedge of lemon and a glass of Rioja and enter your own Spanish paradise…even if you actually live in Cumbria
