Garlic prawns
The main secret in this recipe is to impregnate the oil with the garlic and remove the hot taste without losing the flavour of the garlic. Peel the garlic cloves and sit them in a basin of iced water for a minimum of 4 hours to remove the hot taste. Finely chop the garlic and mix it with the oil, and leave it to stand overnight

6 to 9 green prawns per person
10 cloves garlic
1 cup olive oil
1 cup white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons parsley

Put the green prawns in an ovenproof casserole. Pour over the garlic which has been steeping in the oil, the wine, lemon juice, salt and parsley. Mix thoroughly to make sure the prawns are evenly coated with the mixture. Cover and cook for 15 minutes in a hot pre-heated oven. Serve on individual dishes with bread to mop up the sauce. This is a great informal dish – a little messy as you pick up the prawns and shell them by hand….so supply a finger bowl or napkins.
