Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the Prawns

    Rinse the prawns under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or garlic press.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  5. 5

    Cook the Prawns

    Increase the heat to medium-high, add the prawns, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the prawns turn pink and opaque.

  6. 6

    Add Lemon Juice

    Once the prawns are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the prawns. Toss to combine.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle chopped parsley over the prawns for garnish. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
