Pan-Roasted Prawns

Ingredients

• 2 pounds giant prawns, with heads and shells on
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Spanish paprika
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1/2 lemon, sliced thinly
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Make a quick marinade for the prawns by combining them in a bowl with a healthy drizzle of olive oil, the paprika, crushed garlic, lemon slices, salt, and pepper. Toss the prawns so they are coated with all the good stuff and marinate for 5 minutes to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is hot, pull the prawns out of the marinade and toss them into the pan. Saute for 3 minutes on each side until the shells are red and charred.
