• Crush garlic
• Remove the heads and shells from the prawns, leaving the tails intact. Halve each chilli lengthways and discard the seeds.

1.  Heat the oil in a flameproof pan, suitable for serving. (Alternatively, use a frying pan and have a warmed serving dish ready in the oven.)

2.  Add all the prawns, chilli and garlic to the pan and cook over a high heat for about 3 minutes, stirring until the prawns turn pink.

3.  Season lightly with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
