    Hey so I'm thinking of having prawns pil pil (sizzling prawns in olive oil, garlic and chilli) and I want it for a main course, so what would you serve with the prawns?

    Any suggestions?

    Also any suggestions for any other delicious prawn recipes?

    As far as i know its meant to be just a starter or served in a tapas. You could make a few other small dishes and go down the tapas route, otherwise its usually just served with fresh bread.

    Thanks Overflow. I know it's a tapas (the yummiest of all tapas!) I just wanted to stretch it into a proper main course with something else to bulk it up.

    bread or a good rice dish would probably eb the way to go.

    dipping a nice bit of ciabatta into a plate with a really good, flavoured olive oil and chowing down on it is definitely one of the finer things in life. :)

    i've always been a fan of the olive oil & balsamic bread dip, but anything goes as long as it's got some good flavours.

    a nice rice & veg dish might go well too though, maybe with a few peppers in it and whatever else you like.

    no, pil pil

    Spanish tapas dish = pil pil

    Portuguese chilli dish = piri piri

    yes, they are more or less the same basic dish depending on how you want to make it, but saying pil pil is no less correct than saying piri piri, particularly as the OP is talking about it in it's context as a Spanish tapas dish.
