Notes
Cooking the prawns: It’s obviously important to make sure the prawns are cooked through, but make sure you don’t overdo it as the prawns will lose their tender, juicy wonderfulness and can end up tough and rubbery if overcooked. Just a few minutes should do it
Using frozen prawns: If you're using frozen king prawns, I recommend defrosting them before you start to cook them
Serving suggestions:
- Crusty bread
- Simple salad
- Cheese and cured hams
- Olives
- Patatas bravas
