Garlic ocean prawns

Winter is here!  It is blowing like a ....B.  I suspect that somewhere around the metro area there are a few roofs blown away.  It's a day for staying inside.  

Yesterday I helped son-in-law James finish off building a steel fence to replace the one eaten by Rosy their year old Staffy.  After the job was finished Helen, our daughter, made the most wonderful snack of Garlic Prawns, so, I must share the recipe.    This recipe does not swim the prawns in olive oil and is relatively dry.

Here 'tis....

Half Kilo of peeled and de-veined prawns.  (de-veined is a polite term for removing the poo tube)   set aside.

Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in pan and add 3 cloves of garlic (whole peeled). Roast in oil until brown and soft.  Remove pan from heat.  Crush the garlic with a spoon & chop finely.

Place pan back on heat and add a large knob of butter to the remaining olive oil.

Add prawns and 1-2 pinches of Sumac, approx. 1 tablespoon of finely chopped parsley and salt and pepper when cooked.

Put everything in a bowl  including the oil and herbs from pan.  Dip in with skewers.  Croutons to soak up the residual oils and herbs.

Helen says the roasted garlic is the important ingredient
