One of my all time favourite dishes- Gambas pil pil

October 17, 2011

In English that’s Prawns peri-peri. This dish is spicy, garlicy and generally served with it’s juices sizzling and accompanied with warm bread. I wish I was eating this in Spain right now with some lovely Spanish red. 

  • 4 tbsp extra virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 chillies (hot or mild, to taste), deseeded, chopped
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika (or if not available, standard paprika will do)
  • ½ onion, finely chopped
  • 300g king prawns- fresh/raw if possible but frozen ones that have a decent
  • 2 table spoons chopped parsley

Method

  • Heat the oil over a gentle heat and add the garlic, chillies, paprika and onion. Cook until the onion is soft, without any colour.
  • Add the prawns to the pan, and increase the heat slightly. Cook for 5-10 minutes (If you are using raw prawns, add to the pan and cook until the prawns have turned dark pink ).
  • Add the chopped parsley
  • Serve with crusty bread to mop up the flavoursome juices
