Method
- Heat a frying pan over a high heat until very hot. Add a splash of oil and fry the padrón peppers, turning, for 3-4 minutes until charred. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate and turn down the heat.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the garlic and shallot over a low-medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Turn up the heat, add the prawns and sweet smoked paprika, then cook for a few minutes until the prawns start to turn pink. Add the sliced red peppers and continue to cook until the prawns are cooked through. Scatter over the chopped parsley and serve with toasted sourdough and lemon wedges.
