- 1 lb [500 grams] medium prawns, shelled and deveined.
- 2 oz [65 ml]olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder

Combine all ingredients except the prawns to make a marinade. Mix the prawns with the marinade and let sit for 30 minutes. Oil a frying pan and bring to a high heat.
