Ingredients

  • 175ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 12 fresh raw king prawns, shells on
  • 6 garlic cloves, sliced lengthways
  • 1 large red chilli, finely chopped
  • fresh crab meat from 2 large crabs, in chunks
  • a handful of flat-leaf parsley
  • 250ml white wine

To serve

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • country bread

Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the king prawns and cook for 2 minutes, turning once. Add the garlic, chilli and crab meat, season with salt, then reduce the heat and cook for a couple of minutes with the lid on. Add the parsley, increase the heat and add the wine and reserved juices from the crab meat if you have any. Bubble until evaporated, then serve immediately with lemon wedges and lots of good country bread to mop up the juices.
