Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Start by gathering all your ingredients and prepping them. Peel and devein the prawns if not already done. Mince the garlic, chop the parsley, and measure out the butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

2. 2

   Heat the Pan

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Allow it to heat for about 1-2 minutes until it shimmers but does not smoke.

3. 3

   Cook the Garlic

   Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The garlic should become fragrant but not brown.

4. 4

   Add the Prawns

   Increase the heat to medium-high and add the prawns to the skillet. Season them with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink.

5. 5

   Flip the Prawns

   Flip the prawns over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are fully cooked and opaque. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

6. 6

   Add Butter and Lemon Juice

   Once the prawns are cooked, add the butter and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir gently until the butter melts and coats the prawns evenly.

7. 7

   Finish with Parsley

   Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the prawns. Toss lightly to combine.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the garlic butter prawns immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread or over pasta for a complete meal.
