While on holiday in Menorca recently, this [[Tapa|tapa]] was eaten on a daily basis! <br />
<br />
Be warned, it is quite filling. Because of all the lovely [[Garlic|garlic]] and [[Chilli|chilli]] flavoured [[Oil|oil]], it tempts you to eat far too much [[Bread|bread]]. This version is as close as I could get to the best we had while there. Increase or reduce the garlic and chilli to taste. 1 bulb of garlic would be my personal choice!<br />
<br />
Good fresh [[Bread|bread]] is an essential [[Accompaniment|accompaniment]] to this dish.<br />

{{RecipeIngredients<br />
| 300g large fresh raw [[Peeled prawns|peeled prawns]] ([[King prawns|king prawns]])<br />
| 100 ml [[Extra virgin olive oil|extra virgin olive oil]]<br />
| 3 small dried red [[chillies]], such as [[bird eye chillies]]<br />
| A '''''very''''' scant &#189; teaspoon of [[Sea Salt|sea salt]]<br />
| 1 bulb of [[garlic]] broken into cloves, peeled and sliced<br />
| Large bunch of [[parsley]], chopped<br />
}}<br />
'''to serve'''<br />
{{RecipeIngredientsNB<br />
| 1 [[Lemon|lemon]] cut into [[Wedges|wedges]]<br />
| Freshly [[Baked|baked]] [[Brown bread|brown bread]]<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Method===<br />
{{RecipeMethod<br />
<br />
| Heat the [[Oil|oil]] over a medium heat, in a small pan. Not too hot, burnt [[Garlic|garlic]] is nasty.<br />
| Add ½ a teaspoon of salt to the oil and then add the [[Dried Chillies|dried chillies]] and the sliced [[Garlic|garlic]] and let them sizzle.<br />
| The very second you see the garlic take the slightest colour add all of the [[Prawns|prawns]]<br />
| Carefully stir until the [[Prawns|prawns]] turn pink<br />
| Stir in the finely chopped parsley - a whole supermarket pack of fresh parsley is just the right amount!<br />
| Be careful not to overcook the garlic. You want it soft and juicy, not crisp and dry.<br />
| Pour the contents of the pan into a pre-warmed [[Oven|oven]]-proof dish, or serve from the pan on a wooden board<br />
}}<br />
===Serving suggestions===<br />
Sprinkle the chopped [[Parsley|parsley]] over the [[Brown bread|brown bread]] and serve this [[Tapa|tapa]] with [[Lemon wedges|lemon wedges]]<br />

* A glorious Menorcan holiday<br />
===Variations===<br />
My preference for the [[chillies]] is to use 3 large dried [[Chile de Arbole]], cut into small pieces. This way, the oil gets properly flavoured and you have lots of lovely garlic flavoured chillies to eat - I do like my chillies to have a little bite!<br />
