Hmmm.... Garlic shrimps:

Peel your shrimps, (assuming they are tiger prawns or something that size). Crush 2 cloves of garlic, and chop finely some fresh parsley. Melt some butter and oil in a heavy fry pan on med-high then add in the garlic and prawns, sprinkle with salt + pepper, then stir for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink all over, don't over cook! Add in the parsley and spoon over warm toast. Serves 1....... depending on the amount of prawns and how greedy you are!

OR

Potted Shrimps:

110g/4oz butter
good pinch of cayenne pepper
good pinch of ground nutmeg
570ml/1 pint picked shrimps - small ones
salt + pepper

Place the butter in a pan to melt with the pepper and nutmeg. Once melted, add the shrimps. Stir well over the heat and season. Place the shrimps into little pots or ramekin dishes and press down. Top with the remaining butter left in the bottom of the pan and chill in the fridge. Serve with watercress, a lemon wedge and a couple of slices of brown bread.

OR:

Spicy Prawn Stir-fry:

500g/1lb 2oz medium egg noodles
2 tbsp sesame oil, plus extra for tossing the noodles
2 red chillies, de-seeded and finely chopped
thumb-size piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 bunch of spring onions, thinly sliced on an angle
400g/14oz raw tiger prawns, shelled
2 large or 3 small pak choi, or 200g/7oz Chinese flowering cabbage (choi sum), shredded
1 lime, juice only
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
100ml/3½fl oz Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

Cook the noodles according to the instructions given on the packet. Drain and toss in a little sesame oil to prevent them from sticking together.
Heat a wok and add the sesame oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chillies, ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds before adding the red pepper, spring onions and shelled prawns. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the prawns have turned pink. Add the shredded pak choi, noodles, lime juice, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce and rice wine or sherry. Stir-fry until heated through and serve straight away.
