Cut your chile pepper in half lengthwise, discard one half to use in another recipe and with the remaining half remove the seeds and then chop finely.

Put 4 good tablespoons of Virgin Olive Oil in your skillet and after bringing to hot, turn the heat down to medium and add the garlic, the prawns and the hot red pepper.   Toss and turn around for five minutes until the prawns have turned bright pink – sprinkle with salt and then the parsley and serve with chunks of warmed French bread.   There you have it, traditional Spanish Prawns with Garlic – succulent and delicious!
