By Lisa & Tony Sierra, About.com

"Langostinos" or large prawns are served in Spain with their heads on, giving them much more flavor. Served with a simple pink sauce, they are absolutely delicious and simple to make. They are a great start to a meal...

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs. raw langostinos or large prawns, heads on
  • 2 quarts water to boil
  • salt to taste
  • salsa rosa (see link to recipe below)

Preparation:

Serves 6 as a first course.

Rinse langostinos or prawns and let drain.

In a medium to large pot, pour water and 1 tsp. salt. Heat water on high until it boils.

Once water boils, place prawns in pot. Allow prawns to cook only until they turn pink. Remove immediately and allow to drain.

Chill prawns in refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours. When ready to serve, arrange prawns on a large platter and serve with salsa rosa - pink sauce
