Sizzling Spanish Garlic Prawns - Tapas Style

Recipe #229363 | 13 min | 5 min prep | add private note
French Tart

By: French Tart
May 22, 2007

Sizzling Spanish seafood, perfect for a summer's evening or a tapas party. This simple, baked dish is one of our favourites, great with a glass of ice-cold Fino. You can serve these in the middle of the table - in a large, attractive earthenware dish or in individual bowls. Provide plenty of paper napkins for fingers and faces!! Or, finger bowls with iced lemon water would be a nice idea. Tactile food at its best!

Not having pimentos to hand I used some chipotle in adobe in this and PHEW it was firery ! BUT the addition of lemon juice was a wonderful leveler of flavours and a brilliant (and IMHO necessary, also the large doses of garlic!)contrast to the heat. I might have given these a 5 star rating except that DH gave these a 3.. he said that in his opinion shrimps should never be this spicy... ( take his opinion for whatever it's worth, Im only the messenger LOL)Therefore we compromised and this gets a 4 star rating. I will be making this for myself however and he will be missing out on a yummy treat. Thanks !

    Love this recipe. My hubby found it since we're into tapas. Prepared this for a party and it was a hit. Used medium sized prawns and didn't butterfly them. Also used red pepper flakes in lieu of chili flakes. Used minced garlic instead of sliced garlic- I modified the recipe to use what I had on hand in the pantry. This recipe is easy, yummy, and a keeper. Great job French Tart!

    I love garlic and this recipe didn't disappoint! The best part of this wonderful dish is dipping a baguette into the sherry/garlic butter. nI gave these a stir half way through the bake time to insure even cooking. A great easy recipe! Thank you FT!
