Garlic prawns

Steps

• 1
  Slice the garlic into small pieces.
• 2
  Slice the chili pepper into thin pieces. The amount depends on your taste.
• 3
  Remove the heads of the prawns and set them aside. Remove the shell up to the tail. Carefully cut along the back and clean the inside. Squeeze the juice from the heads into a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of oil, and mix.
• 4
  Heat the remaining oil in a pan over high heat. Add the garlic and chili pepper and let them foam. Reduce the heat to one-third, add the prawn heads, and fry them until reddish on both sides.
• 5
  Salt the peeled prawns, place them in the pan, and fry for half a minute on each side. Remove them from the pan and set aside. Discard the heads.
• 6
  Boil 2 tablespoons each of the prawn head juice and the wine.
• 7
  Pour this over the prawns, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot with white bread.
• 8
  The prawn heads give a delicious flavour to the dish. When frying the garlic, be careful not to brown it too much, as this will make the dish bitter. Do not fry the prawns for too long, as their low water content means they will dry out and become chewy with prolonged heat treatment.
