Yes Food Tube, John Quilter aka The Food Busker back in the house

and i've got a simple, tasty prawn dish that's going to blow your mind

fried with chilli and garlic, it's so delicious but there's a great little twist to this recipe

because we've teamed up with 'There's A Beer For That'

Now these guys are brilliant because they show you how to match great beer with great food

I love this dish because it's so big on flavour but you've got to get all the prep done because it happens really

quickly in the pan. Now these are king prawns, you can use tiger prawns

you could use the smaller ones if you wanted to, I'm using these guys because they're packed full of flavour

there's so much meat there. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to cut it open and take out the vein

that's sometimes is there and then you might just want to cut through just a little bit more

so that you open it up fully, i'm leaving the shell on because it's going to add so much flavour

you can take it off if you want to but try it with it on. Okay so that's done and now let's go and wash my hands

Right okay, now let's get the rest of the ingredients done. So garlic, I want to take the heel off and then

Four cloves done, looks like a lot of garlic right? Don't worry about that, it's going into the oil, the oils going to

calm all that garlicky flavour down and bring it down to a natural hum, rather than an aggressive garlic feel

You can take the seeds out if you're worrying about it being too hot but this is going to go into the oil

it's going to calm it down so I'm going to leave them in

we're just going to cut them on the slant, okay that's your chilli and your garlic done

look at the colour and the flavour getting ready. Now let's get out parsley done

so just grab some beautiful, fresh flat leaf parsley and just pick the leaves off

scoop up your parsley, get it into a ball and then we're going to tightly chop this

Okay, final ingredient, let's just get a lemon. We're going to squeeze that in, that acidity is going to cut through

the moreish-ness  of the garlic and the chilli and the oil, it's going to be delicious

the next thing we got to do is get our pan on, all the prep's done let's talk about the beers that

are going to go with this. Now, I've chosen lagers. Guys seriously you've got to have another look at lagers

there's so many different types with different characteristics and flavours. They're refreshing

and balanced with a subtle sweetness and  a refreshing bitterness. They really kind of reset your pallet

when you're eating so that it invites you to go again with the food

Right guys, everything's ready, time to cook.

First thing we do, get some oil in the pan

three or four tablespoons of good olive oil

and that's going to start fizzing straight away

now normally butter would burn but the oil alters the temperature and so it's not going to burn

and that butter is going to add a really luxurious flavour to the prawns

now let's get the garlic and the chilli in

there's enough prawns here to feed about 4 people as a starter or 2 people as a main

leave them in there and we're going to let them colour on one side

okay, and then they really don't take very long

you begin to see they're turning pink and they're caramelising, it's going to be absolutely gorgeous

these are ready, so I've got some rocket in a bowl there, I'm just going to get my parsley

and just drop that in, listen to that crackle, that's releasing all the flavour from the parsley

and then just get a nice big lemon wedge and just squeeze it in

cooked in the space of 2 minutes and then just look how good this stuff looks at the top

you just drop that on, there's some fresh crusty bread if you want to go with it

I've got 3 great lagers that are perfect with these prawns

this one's really refreshing and clean and got a subtle sweetness to it

this one's richer and it's got a peppery bitterness to it

and this one which I'm going to go for today has got tropical fruits and citrus, really refreshing

Really refreshing, really getting that tropical fruit

what you do is you start off with that, kind of like layering different flavour

Oh my god, let's have a bit more lager with that now

that tropical fruit really, really compliments all the flavours that's going on with the shrimp

what's great about it, is that it refreshes my pallet encouraging me to crack on with another prawn

they work so well together but what would you've matched these prawns with?
