Garlic and chilli prawns

This recipe is based on my favorite Chinese take-away. Its a potent little number, and I wouldn't recommend kissing your partner afterwards.

You need: - for 2 as a starter
12 large prawns
2 cloves of garlic, 1 chopped finely, 1 crushed
2 or 3 fresh chilies chopped and seeds removed
olive oil
salt and pepper

Crushing the garlic releases more of its flavour than chopping, but we also want the chunks for texture, and bite. That's why I use both.

Heat up a substantial amount of oil in a wok or large sauce pan, bung in all the ingredients, sauté until the prawns are cooked. Goes really well with noodles and water chestnuts. Halitosis here we come!
