Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 kilograms Prawns
150 grams Chopped onion
2 Crushed garlic cloves
1 Glass water or white wine
30 grams Finely chopped parsley
Salt and red pepper

Directions

Wash the prawns thouroughly, breaking off the feelers or legs which are too long. Fry the chopped onion in a heavy frying pan until golden. Add the prawns and continue cooking until they turn red in colour.

Season and add a glass of water or dry white wine to the pan, then the crushed cloves of garlic and a light sprinkling of paprika. Cover the pan and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes. Check the seasoning, sprinkle over the fresh parsley and serve hot.
