Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Prawns

    Rinse the pink prawns under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make sure to keep the heads intact for flavor.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Prawns

    Add the prawns to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and slightly charred. Flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season and Finish

    Once cooked, squeeze the lemon juice over the prawns and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the chopped parsley and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the prawns to a serving platter and serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
