Gambas pil pil

Gambas pil pil is a tapas dish of prawns cooked in garlic, chilli and olive oil. I absolutely love making gambas because it is so simple to make and tastes absolutely amazing.

1 tsp crushed red chilli / chilli flakes

4-5 cloves of garlic finely chopped (about 2 tsp)

1/4 tsp paprika (optional)

Add in the prawns and cook for for 2 minutes turning after a minute. The prawns will change colour, indicating they are cooked. Turn the heat off.
