Ingredients

3 tablespoons Olive Oil
3 cloves Chopped Garlic
400g Prawns
2 tbsp Dry sherry
Handful Parsley

Instructions

Peel and devein the prawns if necessary. Finely chop the parsley and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for a few seconds until fragrant and lightly golden, taking care not to brown it.
Add the prawns to the pan and stir to coat them in the oil. Cook for 1–2 minutes until they start to turn pink.
Pour in the dry sherry and cook for a few minutes more, until the liquid has reduced slightly and the prawns are just cooked through.
Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Tips

Dry the prawns thoroughly to ensure they develop a golden sear in the hot oil.
Use a dry Fino or Manzanilla sherry to provide a crisp, nutty acidity to the sauce.
Finish with a knob of cold butter at the end to create a glossy, emulsified glaze.
