1Preheat the oven to 220°C.
2Spread the prawns in a single layer in a shallow earthenware dish.
3Mix the olive oil, garlic and chili; pour over the prawns — it should only coat the dish bottom.
4Season with salt and bake 10-12 minutes until the shells are pink and the garlic golden.
5Squeeze lemon over and serve straight from the dish with bread to mop the oil.
Chef's Tip
- Shell-on prawns protect the meat from the high oven heat and carry the flavor of the oil.
More tips ↓Show less ↑
- A thin oil layer (not a pool) roasts the garlic into chips instead of boiling it.
- The dish comes to the table as-is: the bread mopping is part of the meal.
