Prawns with brandy in the oven: Step by step:

Preparing baked prawns with brandy is simple and quick. This technique allows to preserve the juiciness of the seafood and achieve a uniform cooking, ideal to highlight the aroma of the brandy without the need to flambe.

Ingredients (for 4 people)

For this baked prawn recipe with brandy for 4 guests you will need:

• 800 g of raw prawns
  (they can be fresh or frozen, previously defrosted)
• 60 ml of Brandy Fundador
  (approx. 4 tablespoons)
• 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
• Coarse salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, optional
• 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley
• ½ lemon, optional, for serving

These quantities allow the brandy to perfume the seafood without dominating it, achieving a perfect balance between the flavor of the prawn and the aromatic nuances of the brandy aged in Jerez casks.

Steps to follow

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
2. Place the prawns on a baking tray, well spread out.
3. Add the sliced garlic, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
4. Drizzle with a good amount of Brandy Fundador, enough to perfume without covering excessively. But if you want to have more control, use the spoonfuls we recommended earlier.
5. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the prawns are pink and juicy.
6. When you take it out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and, if you wish, a few drops of lemon.

The result is a recipe for oven-baked prawns with brandy aromatic, balanced and perfect to impress without effort.

How to serve your oven-baked prawns with brandy

Serve the prawns with brandy directly on the tray or on a hot dish to preserve their aroma. Accompany them with crispy bread to take advantage of the sauce and, if you want a more sophisticated touch, present them on a base of coarse salt or with a light oil infused with citrus.

This dish, whether as a starter or as the center of your special meal, is a true celebration of originality and enjoyment.

What to pair your prawn dish with Brandy Fundador
