Raw king prawns 300g, peeled and de-veined

Garlic 2 cloves, thinly sliced

Dried chilli flakes a large pinch

Olive oil 2 tbsp

Parsley leaves a small handful, chopped

Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Divide the prawns, garlic, chilli, sherry and the olive oil between 2 small ovenproof dishes. Cook for 6—8 minutes until pink and sizzling. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with crusty bread. Serves 2

Raw prawns deteriorate very quickly—when buying, avoid any that smell particularly fishy.
