Cooked without brandy, less peppery, need to wash throughly and rinse with lemon before marinate as still had prawn smell.

Ingredients

• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns*
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp brandy
• 1 lb. raw medium-sized shrimp, shelled, de-veined and split (tails on or off)**
• 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
• Crushing the peppercorns in a small ziplock bag and place that bag inside another ziplock bag and smash with a hammer.

Preparation

Step 1

1 Mix together the crushed garlic, salt, crushed peppercorns, lemon juice and brandy. Add the shrimp and marinate at least an hour or up to overnight in the fridge.

2 Heat a heavy skillet over medium high heat and add olive oil. Add shrimp and garlic mixture and cook quickly, tossing shrimp. The longer the shrimp has been marinating, the less time it takes to cook. Cook until the shrimp has turned opaque (generally only 2-3 minutes).

Garnish with chopped parsley.
