Ingredients
- 2 pounds giant prawns, with heads and shells on
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Spanish paprika
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/2 lemon, sliced thinly
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Make a quick marinade for the prawns by combining them in a bowl with a healthy drizzle of olive oil, the paprika, crushed garlic, lemon slices, salt, and pepper. Toss the prawns so they are coated with all the good stuff and marinate for 5 minutes to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is hot, pull the prawns out of the marinade and toss them into the pan. Saute for 3 minutes on each side until the shells are red and charred.

This recipe was good but not great. I think it could have benefited from a little spice. Next time I will add a dash of cayenne or some red pepper flakes.

I'm learning to cook shrimp & other seafood. Although I didn't have the recommended head-on prawns or fresh lemon or spanish paprika (used plain. I did follow the recipe using lemon juice about 2 tbls & let it marinate for about two hours. Made them for my daughter & they were great. Look for this to be my base recipe & thinking of adding red pepper flakes, etc. Thank you Tyler

I made this last night...using extra-large prawns, which unfortunately came without their heads...followed the recipe, marinating about an hour, and my family thoughly enjoyed the dish...served with a grapefruit/jicama salad and rice. Yummy!
