One Of The Easiest Grilled Garlic Shrimp Recipes EverThis has to be one of the quickest and easiest grilled garlic shrimp recipes ever – Gambas a la plancha (if you're Spanish) or simply grilled tiger prawns. Then again you could just pan fry this recipe and in that instance it would be more like what the Spanish would call gambas al ajillo (with garlic).
After many seconds deliberating over the best translation, I decided just to grill them and eat. After all it's not about what you call them it's about how they taste! TIP - If using frozen shrimps make sure that they are properly thawed out and free from water otherwise you'll end up boiling everything rather than grilling. Just take a look back at the photo at the top of the page and you'll see what I mean. You can see on the right hand side of the plancha that there's a build up of water (with oil mixed in) and you want to avoid this at all costs otherwise your shrimps take on a spongy texture. Better luck next time eh? This quantity below is good enough for about four people and I work on eight prawns per person. Ingredients:-
Method:- Peel and chop your garlic, seed the chili and chop, get your plancha or frying pan up to temperature and you're all set. The shrimps / prawns will take about 5 minutes to cook maximum and the chili should be OK at that too, I just like to take a little care with the garlic so that we don't burn it. Throw in the prawns and give them a couple of minutes, now add the garlic and chili, and then give everything another couple of minutes (and a light agitation) until the prawns are pink and that's it. 
Serve in a bowl as a salad or just with a crusty roll to mop up all that delicious chili garlic oil – yum. See Also:-
