GARLIC PRAWNS (SHRIMP!)

Steps:

• Marinade: Place the prawns, garlic, olive oil and pepper in bowl. Gently toss then set aside for 20 minutes.
• Salt: Add salt into prawns just before cooking and toss.

CREAMY GARLIC PRAWNS (SHRIMP)

Steps:

• Place prawns, garlic, oil and pepper in a bowl. Toss to coat, set aside 20 minutes if time permits (no longer).
• Stir through salt just prior to cooking.
• Melt 15g / 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add half the prawns and cook for 1 minute on each side, then remove.
• Repeat with remaining prawns (you shouldn't need more butter), then remove. Scrape out excess remaining garlic from pan and add to cooked prawns.
• Add butter into skillet and let it melt. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds or until light golden.
• Add white wine, turn up heat to high. Bring to simmer while stirring base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits into the sauce. Cook 1 minute or until it most evaporates and the winey smell is gone.
• Add chicken stock and reduce until mostly gone and just a thin layer remains on base of skillet.
• Add cream, then simmer on medium heat for 2 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.
• Stir through parmesan, then add the prawns back in. Taste sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
• Serve sprinkled with parsley, over mashed potato or something to soak up that fabulous sauce!

BAKED GARLIC PRAWNS WITH ROASTED PEPPERS & GREMOLATA TOASTS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the peppers, cut-side up, in a roasting tin. Scatter the sliced garlic into the peppers. Drizzle over half the oil and add a splash of the wine. Season. Cover with foil and bake for 40 mins. Leave to cool for 10 mins. If making ahead, leave at room temperature for up to a few hours until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, prepare the prawns. Remove the heads, peel, and leave the tails intact, if you like. Or, for more flavour, leave them unpeeled. Use a sharp knife to cut down the back of each prawn from the head to just before the tail (this is harder to do if unpeeled, but still worth it). You'll find a black line along some prawns. Remove this with the knife. Keep chilled, following pack instructions, until ready to cook.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub the baguette slices with the garlic clove, then drizzle with 2 tbsp oil. Bake for 10 mins. Leave to cool. Can be made a few hours ahead. For the gremolata, combine the parsley, garlic, oil and lemon zest with a pinch of salt (no more than 1 hr before serving). Cut the lemon in half and set aside.
• Uncover the peppers, then peel and discard the skins. Slice or tear the peppers into strips. Turn the oven up to 240C/220C fan/gas 8.
• Put the prawns and peppers into a 25cm round baking dish. Toss with the rest of the wine, paprika and remaining oil. Season. Lay the prawns in a single layer with the lemon halves, cut-side up. Roast for 10 mins, tossing halfway. The prawns will turn pink when ready. 6 Meanwhile, spread the gremolata over the toasts. Squeeze the lemon halves over the prawns, and serve with the toasts on the side.

HOT PEPPER AND GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pat shrimp dry. Cook garlic, red pepper flakes, and sea salt in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is pale golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Increase heat to moderately high, then add shrimp and sauté, turning occasionally, until shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, then transfer to a serving bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature.
