The key to this recipe is the little cast iron pots that the prawns are cooked and served in. It just doesn't seem right without them
Ingredients
o.5 kg green prawns, shelled and de-veined
two cups olive oil
4 cloves garlic roughly chopped
2 chillies coarsely chopped
fresh crusty bread
Method
Prepare the prawns, garlic and chilli
In the cast iron pots heat enough of the olive oil to cook the prawns but not too much that they'll boil over when you throw the prawns in!
Bring the oil to just below smoking and put one server of prawns into the hot oil.
Careful - they boil immediately!!
Let them cook for a minute, two at the most and add the garlic and chilli.
Don't let the garlic burn!
While still boiling and with suitable safety gear [apron and heatproof pot-holders], move the cast iron pot containing the prawns to the table.
Eat them with the bread - don't forget the oil and garlic
