These prawns are absolutely fantastic. Every time I make them I marvel at the density and depth of the flavors. I typically leave the Cayenne pepper out of about half of them if I'm cooking for the whole family. I often serve these in combination with a Moroccan chicken, fish, or lamb dish, but they work fine on their own too.

    This is a great and super simple recipe. If you don't have a standard fall back recipe for shrimp, this will probably be it!
    Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta

      This was delicious. I made it with rice cooked in garlic and chicken broth. The leftovers were even better. The shrimp sitting on the rice all night with the juices soaking into the rice made for a very satisfying lunch!

        I love shrimp, I love garlic, I love spicy food. This has it all! Great recipe. Even a novice like me couldn't screw it up. I served it over rice, with a Gewurztraminer from Alsace. Thanks, John.

          We seem to make this over and over again, using any shrimp available, of any size. Always good!

                    Hi John

                    I love shrimp and this looks like something I could really enjoy. The combination
                    of spices and flavourings is brilliant!
