chorizo prawn tapas

had a very tasty Gambas al pil pil – Sizzling prawns in virgin olive oil & garlic at sabio @ duxton hill few days back on 5.11.2017 (see photo at bottom).

this evening, i decided to make some myself on 9.11.2017. ^^

chorizo prawn tapas

i defrosted 8 prawns, deveiled & seasoned with fish sauce & white pepper.

then i cut 8 thin slices of chorizo i had in the chiller. i fried the sliced chorizo, 2/3 of a buld of garlic, and 1 cut chilli padi in 2tbsp olive oil to brown the garlic cloves & till fragrant.

then i added 1/2 cup of chicken stock, bring to boil & added the prawns.

chorizo prawn tapas

the key is cooking the prawns just right, not overcooked.

prawns were totally fresh, bouncy, perfect texture, sweet & tasty.

& the chorizo flavours were the best. awesome sauce awesome dish.

sabio’s Gambas al pil pil

my presentation not as nice as sabio’s. will add some chopped coriander & red peppers next time.

but the taste & texture – my dish was just as good! ^^
