1
Prepare the Prawns
Ensure that the prawns are peeled and deveined. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
3
Chop the Parsley
Wash and chop the fresh parsley leaves. Set aside for garnishing.

4
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
5
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
6
Cook the Prawns
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the prawns to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the prawns turn pink and opaque.
7
Add Butter and Lemon
Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter to the skillet, and stir until melted. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the prawns and mix well.
8
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the prawns. Serve immediately while hot.
