  • Choose prawns that are fresh and not frozen for best results.
  • To make the dish spicier, use a spicier variety of chorizo.

  • Instead of chorizo, use bacon. The benefit of this substitution is that bacon is more widely available than chorizo, and it is a milder flavor that will still provide a nice salty flavor to the dish.
  • Instead of ciabatta loaf, use garlic bread. The benefit of this substitution is that garlic bread is a bit milder in flavor than ciabatta, and it will also give the dish a nice garlicky flavor.
