  if you add more garlic, some chilli and make sure prawns are peeled so they absorb more flavour they turn out less bland

  I would definitely add lemon zest and some lemon juice as well for additional flavour.

  A bit like a gambas pil pil, tho white wine is used, not sherry, and definitely add a little fresh chilli to the sauce for a kick! Alternatively, I do a starter of prawns cooked in garlicky white wine, reduce the 'sauce' down a bit, add your fresh chilli, a dollop of fresh cream, followed by a tablespoon or 2 of canned chopped tomatoes - always a hit!! And can be a nice summery main course too - nice bread and a Pinot Grigio top it off for a midweek sin!!

  Just add a teaspoon or two of chilli from a jar to really hit the spot. Fantastic with fresh bread to mop up the juices! Simple, quick & blooming tasty, again & again.

  It's not the recipe that the problem guys - it's the quality of your ingredients! If the prawns are tasteless, then they're bad prawns and you should buy from somewhere else :)
