Sauteed Prawns

1 kg Prawns
150 g Chopped onion
2 Crushed garlic cloves
1 Glass water or white wine
30 g Finely chopped parsley
Salt and red pepper


Wash the prawns thouroughly, breaking off the feelers or legs which are too long. Fry the chopped onion in a heavy frying pan until golden. Add the prawns and continue cooking until they turn red in colour.

Season and add a glass of water or dry white wine to the pan, then the crushed cloves of garlic and a light sprinkling of paprika. Cover the pan and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes. Check the seasoning, sprinkle over the fresh parsley and serve hot.
