Tips
- Baby eels are a product made from surimi or pressed fish derivatives. It is a high-protein, low-fat food that can be included, sporadically, in a healthy, balanced diet.
- You can make this recipe with fresh shrimp or use frozen shrimp. In the latter case, it is important to thaw them properly (in the lower part of the refrigerator) and to drain them well to prevent excess water from reaching the pan.
- If you want to give your garlic eels with prawns a personal touch with extra flavor, when sautéing the prawns you can add a small amount of white wine. When you add it, increase the heat so that the alcohol evaporates, remove the prawns and then add the baby eels.
- You can adapt the recipe for garlic eels with prawns as you wish, adding more or less minced garlic and also more or less cayenne pepper to intensify (or not) the spiciness. Even so, it is advisable to put no more than two peppers in the pan, so that the spiciness is not excessive and ends up canceling out the flavor of the baby eels and prawns. Do not forget to remove the peppers before serving (or warn your guests of their presence).
- Having a pack of eels at home is a great idea for preparing endless easy recipes in minutes. In salads, in scrambled eggs, on toast or canapes… elvers are a good option for quick and simple dinners.
