10. Yummy Prawns in garlic marinade Create your very own tapas! You will need: - 250 g of large prawns, peeled (either frozen (cheap ) or fresh) - one toe of garlic (two if you really like garlic) - a chillipepper (or something peppery in dried form, such as dried chillipepper or cayennepepper) - dried coriander - oil (preferably arachid) If you use deep frozen prawns, first cook them for 5 minutes or so and decant the water. Fresh prawns are ready to go as they are. Put them in a bowl and add a spoonful of oil. Mash up a toe of garlic real good and add it. Cut up the chili-pepper in small bits and add as well (use less if you don't like "flamin' hot"). Add a pinch of dried coriander and mix everything well. Put your marinated prawns into fridge for a few hours. When you get hungry, bake the prawns for a few minutes in a hot wok or grill pan and they're all done! Yummy yummy!
