Masala Prawns Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Prawns

    In a bowl, combine the prawns, olive oil, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, red chili powder, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to ensure the prawns are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a little more olive oil if needed.

  3. 3

    Cook the Prawns

    Add the marinated prawns to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and are slightly charred at the edges.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the prawns from the heat, sprinkle with fresh coriander, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
