Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Prawns

    Rinse the prawns under cold water, and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are peeled and deveined.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely. This will enhance the flavor in the dish.

  3. 3

    Juice the Lemons

    Cut the lemons in half and juice them, making sure to remove any seeds.

  4. 4

    Chop the Parsley

    Wash and finely chop the fresh parsley to use as a garnish.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 6

    Sauté Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 7

    Add Prawns

    Add the prawns to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink.

  4. 8

    Flip the Prawns

    Flip the prawns over and add the lemon juice to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the prawns are fully cooked and opaque.

  5. 9
