 150      gram          chopped onion
   2                    crushed garlic cloves

  30      grams         finely chopped parsley
                        salt and red pepper
 

Preparation:

Wash the prawns thoroughly, 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 color. 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.
