Preparation

‘I make these gambas as soon as summer starts to kick in. Plenty of garlic, good-quality oil and some lovely bread for dipping – that’s all you need.’

Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron pan and add the prawn shells, along with the onion, garlic, chillies, lemon, chili flakes and tomato purée.

Step 2
Leave this to simmer gently for about 20 minutes so the oil takes on a rich flavor.

Step 3
Strain the oil and remove the solids.

Step 4
Reheat the oil and fry the (peeled and cleaned) prawns for 4–5 minutes until cooked through.

Step 6
Season to taste with lemon juice, sea salt and fresh parsley.

Step 7
Serve immediately with bread.
