    14oz – 400g raw shrimps (prawns), peeled and deveined tails on.

    5 tbsp olive oil

    4 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced

    1 red chilli or ½ tsp chilli flakes

    ½ tsp smoked paprika

    1 tbsp chopped parsley

    Juice of ½ lemon

    Salt to taste

    Step 1

    In a frying pan over low heat, heat olive oil with garlic slices and chilli. Gently stew for 2 minutes until fragrant, not browned.

    Step 2

    Add shrimps in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until just opaque.

    Step 3

    Add lemon juice and parsley. Toss to combine and remove from heat immediately.

    Step 4

    Serve sizzling hot in the pan or spooned onto a small dish with plain or toasted sourdough bread on the side for dunking.

    This looks good! I may go coward and not include seeds though. Only question is using just using olive oil, is it too “oily”? Either way, I’m definitely going to try this.
