Prawns with Garlic and Coriander

Use raw king prawns for this dish; they are gray and turn pink when they are cooked. Some supermarkets sell them ready-peeled.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

16 large, raw king prawns
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Handful of chopped coriander
1 lemon, cut in quarters

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    If the prawns need peeling, pull off the heads and legs, then peel off the shells, but leave the tails on. If you see a dark vein along the back, make a fine slit with a sharp knife and pull it out.

    Step 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the prawns, and cook for a minute. Turn them over, add the garlic and coriander, and cook for a minute more, until the prawns turn pink. They should not need any salt. Serve them hot with the lemon quarters.
