Black tiger prawns in olive oil with garlic

Ingredients

• 2-4 Black Tiger prawns (shell-on, headless, or peeled)
• 7 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp Havsnø sea salt flakes
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 
• 1 tsp chili flakes or 1 small red chili, finely diced
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 baguette for serving
• Optional: fresh parsley & Chili Allrounder seasoning

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) with top and bottom heat.
2. Marinate the prawns: Wash the prawns, pat them dry, and briefly marinate them with lemon juice, salt, and chili flakes.
3. Heat the oil: Pour the olive oil into an ovenproof dish, place it in the oven on a rack, and let it get really hot.
4. Check the temperature: The oil is hot enough when small bubbles form as soon as the end of a wooden spoon is dipped into it (approx. 170°C).
5. Cook the prawns: Add the garlic and marinated prawns to the hot oil. Leave in the oven for about 6–8 minutes until the garlic is lightly browned and the prawns are pink.
6. Finish: Sprinkle with freshly picked parsley and a little Chili Allrounder seasoning.
7. Serve: Serve directly from the hot dish – ideal with fresh bread for dipping into the aromatic garlic oil.
