This step is important for even cooking and a slight browning. Then, season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<li>Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic and chilli. Saut\u00e9 for approximately 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.<\/li>\n<li>Add the prawns to the pan.

Allow the alcohol to evaporate for about 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the delicious flavours.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the fresh chopped parsley and an additional grinding of black pepper, if desired. Mix gently to combine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Serving &amp; Leftovers<\/h2>\n<p>These Chilli Garlic Prawns are excellent served immediately, perhaps with crusty toasted bread to soak up the delicious juices, or over a bed of spaghetti Aglio e Olio for a more substantial meal. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of one day, though it&#8217;s always best enjoyed fresh.<\/p>\n<h2>Nutrition<\/h2>\n<p>Nutritional values are estimates and may vary depending on ingredients and portions.<\/p>\n<h2>One Last Thing<\/h2>\n<p>Having simple, swift recipes like this truly transforms weeknight dinner planning.
