Ingredients

To make this delicious dish, you’ll need:

Main Ingredients:

500g large prawns, cleaned and deveined

4 tbsp unsalted butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp red chili flakes (optional, for spice)

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Additions:

½ tsp smoked paprika (for a hint of smokiness)

2 tbsp white wine (for extra depth of flavor)

1 tsp honey (for a slightly sweet contrast)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the prawns First, wash and de-vein your large shrimp If you are using the frozen prawns, defrost them in cold water for about 15 minutes and then use a paper towel to pat them dry. You need to de-moisturize the prawns so they sear properly instead of steaming from their own moisture.

Step 2: Sauté Garlic You will need to use a large pan or skillet and heat some oil with the lowest heat you can then add this to the mixture. Garlic- Add to some heated oil in the pan and sauté for 30 seconds or so or until fragrant. Garlic can get bitter so be really careful not to burn it.

Step 3 – Cook Prawns Place prawns on the pan in a single layer. They should be cooked for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and slightly tented. As with all prawns you do not want too cook them for too long as they will dry out and turn rubbery.

Step 4: Melt Butter and Season Reduce the heat and melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter while also coating it completely all over the prawns. Salt, pepper and red chili flakes (if using ) Sprinkle everything together and stir very well until the prawns are nicely coated.

Step 5: Finish with Lemon & Parsley Use the juice of 1 tablespoon fresh lemon to add color, tang and brightness to the prawns. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley to garnish both visually and for freshness. If your wine is white, add this now and stir for 1 minute to amp up the sauce.

Step 6 : Serve & Enjoy Take off the heat of prawns just simmer and serve them. They pair beautifully with:

Garlicky Butter Sauce on Steamed Rice — This is perhaps my favourite concoction. Pasta: Add cooked spaghetti to your prawns for a quick gourmet pasta meal. Warm Baguette-crusty Bread – Absorb that creamy sauce Garlic Butter Prawns to Die For

Use Fresh or Manage Prawns– The best taste you can get is bright maintained from days ago fresh prawns. Fresh – Use this particular premium quality large prawns if freezing did not appeal. Do not Over Cook your Prawns – They are quick cook so be vigilant. As soon as they’re pink and they have the opaque, drop them. Give season with salt to taste — If you like a little kick in spicy, then add some chili flakes or just a little cayenne pepper. Double the Butter-Garlic-Lemon — If you like your dish saucier, just up the quantities of butter, garlic and lemon to taste making more delicious liquid to dip. Real Ingredients – Fresh garlic, lemon juice and parsley bring an entirely other level of flavor to the veggies over their processed version.

Garlic Butter Prawns Variations Creamy Garlic Butter Prawns: thick the sauce with ¼ cup of heavy cream Garlic Butter Prawns – For the spice card, toss in more red chili flakes, sriracha or freshly chopped chilies for chili heads.
