Simple pan fried prawns
Very simple and with an intense taste, these simple pan fried prawns will bring the taste of the sea directly to your table.
Ingredients
- 12 prawns
- olive oil
- lemon
- chopped parsley
- salt and chilli pepper
- some lemon flavored olive oil, if you like
Instructions
- Pan-fried prawns are very quick to prepare but a very appetising second course. They can be made both with and without the shell, I generally remove the shell because my father does not like to peel them and therefore it would always be my job to do so.
- If you want to remove the shell, start by removing the legs and the carapace, but leave the tail and the head.
- Then cut into the back of the prawn and with the help of a knife, or simply with your hands, remove the red thread of the prawn (which corresponds to the intestine).
- Pour a few turns of oil into a frying pan and place the prawns, with or without their shells, so that they do not overlap.
- Cook each side for about 2 minutes and add the juice of half a lemon.
- Add salt and a pinch of chilli pepper if you like it spicy.
