Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the red-skin potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into quarters. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Prawns

    Add the prawns to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them.

  4. 4

    Add Lemon and Season

    Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional minute.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Drain the boiled potatoes and serve them alongside the garlic butter prawns, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
