    Delicious, very quick and easy, I used white wine instead of sherry and worked great, served with warm ciabatta. Will definately make again.

    Very, very easy to make and tasted delicious! I got a bit confused with butterflying and pulling out veins etc, but got there in the end! Fresh, crusty bready with this to mop up the juices, is a must!

    to make this for a crowd do you just multiply up all the ingredients, or change the balance of prawns vs other ingredients?

    i assume frozen raw king prawns, well thawed would be suitable?

    cooked these as part of a tapas evening for friends - wow they are wonderful! Everyone said how tasty they were and there were none left by the end of the meal! They were so simple to make, I prepared them in the afternoon and then left them in the fridge to marinade until just before we ate. They took two minutes, but were delicious - as someone else mentioned, you need bread to soak up the tasty juices! I didn't have any dry sherry and used port instead.

    Very tasty, and impressed my guests. Fiddley to butterfly and de-vein the prawns though, and mine didn't look too pretty when cooked, but tasted great.

    Delicious. I used (lots of) fresh chilli. Made in the afternoon and threw into the oven 5 mins before we were ready to sit for dinner. Lots of crusty bread. A big hit with all. Yummy.

    I made these as part of a tapas meal and we loved them. They were my fiancee's favourite dish of the meal. I definitely plan to make them again.

    I did this in a pan on the hob, used white wine instead of sherry, and mopped it all up with some naan bread. Delicious.

    Absolutely perfect as it was. Wouldn't change a thing. Well apart from doubling it next time as it disappeared too quickly!! It went down a storm at our dinner party as one of three tapas starters. The ciabatta bread we served with it was perfect to mop up the juices.

    I thought this was great but it all comes down to the quality of the prawns. We ate this as a starter and used fresh unshelled king prawns from an excellent fishmonger.

    Loved the recipe, did it as part of my tapas and they were just the way I like them and I'm lucky I had some of those terracotta dishes, you need them to sizzle, tasty and just enough for 2 people...

    Disappointing. Baking the prawns makes them a bit flaccid. Would be better in the wok. Also not spicy enough.
