Directions:
- Mix a count the olive oil and sherry in a shallow dish. Add garlic, chillies, salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon into mixture.
- Remove shells from prawns. Squeeze the heads into the mixture, place the prawns and heads into the mixture and discard the remaining shells. The squeezing of the heads is a very important step and should not be forgotten, however squeemish!
- Ensure the prawns are mostly covered by the mixture. If not, add more sherry and olive oi in equal measures.
- Cover and leave to marinade at cool room temperature for as long as possible, preferably 3 hours. If less time is available, add more garlic and chillies. Mix occasionally to cover the prawns.
- Remove prawns from mixture, leaving heads in the sauce, and place to one side.
- Heat the marinade over a high heat until bubbling and the heads have turned pink.
- Return the raw prawns to the pan and stir until just cooked.
- Remove some heads from the pan if desired, although a few make an attractive addition, and the Spanish traditionally suck any remaining juice from them.
- Serve in the pan in the centre of the table with lots of crust bread for dipping.
