Method:

  1. Prepare the aïoli first. The ingredients listed will make 1 1/2 cups of aïoli. Whisk egg yolks, crushed garlic, mustard and pepper until it becomes sticky. Gradually add 1/4 cup oil, in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Use a blender to whisk the ingredients together. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Continue blending the ingredients together and gradually dribble in more oil, whisking constantly until all the oil is blended into the aïoli . All ingredients must be at room temperature. Put aside.

  2. Shell the prawns leaving the head and tail. Remove the dorsal vein using a sharp knife. Heat 3-4 tablespoons of the light olive oil in a heavy based frying pan over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and cook until it sizzles. Add the prawns, stirring constantly until cooked and red in colour. Do not overcook. Remove pan from heat and carefully stir in 1/3 cup of the aïoli, thyme and lemon juice.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Serve into individual portions with hot crusty bread.
