Method

Heat the oil in a small frying pan (skillet) over a high heat, add the garlic and chilli and sizzle gently for a few seconds until the garlic takes on a hint of colour, then add the prawns (shrimp). Cook for about 30 seconds, until the prawns are golden on the outside yet still moist inside. Remove from the heat and finish with a sprinkling of parsley and lemon juice. Serve while still sizzling
