Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

spicy scampi with lots of garlic and tomatoes

Clean the scampi/prawns, remove the shells, and devein them. Peel and finely dice the onions and garlic. Peel and deseed fresh tomatoes, remove the seeds, and cut them into small cubes. I like to use ready-made tomatoes, either from a can or a carton. These can be whole or chunky. Heat the oil in a large pan, then briefly sauté the onions and garlic. Next, add the sambal oelek. I’m always careful with this; it’s better to add a little seasoning than to have the flames catching in your throat. So start with a little and adjust the seasoning later. Add the cleaned and patted dry scampi/prawns, along with the tomatoes. Fry everything briefly and season with pepper, salt, and a little sugar. Add the chopped parsley at the very end. Goes perfectly with fresh baguette or rice. Add a nice cold beer, and you have a delicious, quick dish.
