1
Prepare the Prawns
Ensure that the prawns are peeled and deveined. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.
3
Chop the Parsley
Wash the fresh parsley, dry it, and chop it finely.

4
Melt the Butter
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter and allow it to melt completely.
5
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
6
Cook the Prawns
Add the prepared prawns to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic butter mixture. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the prawns turn pink and opaque.
7
Season the Prawns
Add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
8
Garnish and Serve
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the prawns, give it a final stir, and serve immediately with crusty bread or over pasta.
