Garlic Prawns in a Vulcano Gres Refractory Ceramic Casserole
Garlic prawns are a classic of Spanish cuisine, and preparing them in a Vulcano Gres refractory ceramic casserole takes the cooking experience to the next level. The refractory ceramic ensures even heat distribution, enhancing flavours and guaranteeing perfect cooking. Here is a detailed recipe for preparing garlic prawns in a Vulcano Gres refractory ceramic casserole dish.
Ingredients
500 g prawns (fresh or frozen, peeled and deveined)
6 cloves of garlic (finely sliced)
1-2 chilli peppers (optional, sliced)
100 ml extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
juice of half a lemon (optional, to add a touch of freshness)
Rustic bread (to accompany)
Instructions
Preparation of the casserole:
Preheat the Vulcano Gres refractory ceramic casserole dish in the oven at 180°C for about 10 minutes. This will ensure that the casserole is piping hot and ready to receive the prawns and oil.
Preparation of the prawns:
If the prawns are frozen, defrost them and dry them well with kitchen paper.
Peel and slice the garlic cloves. Wash and finely chop the parsley.
Cooking:
Carefully remove the casserole from the oven and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
Add the extra virgin olive oil to the hot pan. The oil will start to heat up immediately.
Add the garlic slices and chilli peppers (if using) to the hot oil. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes over medium heat, until the garlic begins to brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this can impart a bitter taste to the dish.
Add the prawns to the pan. Cook the prawns for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they change colour and are cooked through. The prawns should be pink and opaque.
