SPANISH EGGS WITH RED PEPPERS AND PRAWNS

This is found in tapas bars and is known as the ‘revueltos’ as it revolts or jumps around the pan as the prawns cook! Less of a tortilla and more of a quick scrambled egg it is a fabulous dish and much more interesting than an omelette, with more of a creamy consistency.
