Ingredients

raw prawns (partially peeled)

Instructions

Prepare the marinade by mixing the finely chopped garlic, smoked paprika, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl.
Pat the prawns dry with paper towels, put them in the marinade, and let rest for 8–10 minutes (no longer to avoid 'cooking' the prawns in the acid).
Prepare a very hot grill or pan. Drain the prawns slightly then sear for 1.5–2 minutes per side over high heat until well colored; avoid overcooking to keep them juicy.
While cooking, prepare a small emulsion by mixing 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of lemon juice, season.
Serve the prawns immediately drizzled with the emulsion, with lemon wedges on the side.

Variants

Add chili for a spicy version.

Tips

Do not overcook the prawns to prevent them from becoming rubbery.

FAQ

Yes, thaw them well and pat dry before marinating.
