In Spain this dish is made with garlic oil, garlic butter or garlic sauce using several different recipes depending on the region. The secret of this tasty tapas dish is the spicy stock that we extract from the prawn shells after peeling. We add this after frying the prawns and then leave it to simmer for a while to form a powerful sauce. You could use any size or type of shrimp for this recipe, such as scampi, langoustine or crayfish.
