How to make it 👨🍳
Pat the Raw king prawns dry with kitchen paper and season lightly with Salt.
Pour the Extra virgin olive oil into a wide, heavy pan over medium heat.
Add the Garlic cloves and Dried red chili or chili flakes. Cook gently for 2 minutes until the garlic turns pale gold at the edges — watch it closely, it goes from golden to burned in seconds.
Turn the heat to high and add the prawns in a single layer. They should sizzle loudly the moment they hit the oil.
Cook for 1–2 minutes until the undersides turn pink and opaque, then flip each prawn and cook for 1 more minute.
Pour in the Dry sherry or dry white wine — it will bubble up immediately. Let it reduce for 30 seconds.
Scatter over the Flat-leaf parsley and taste for Salt. Serve immediately in the pan with Crusty bread alongside for soaking up the garlicky oil.
