Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Prawns

    Thoroughly rinse the prawns under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. If not already done, peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tails on for presentation.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Prawns

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the prawns with olive oil, minced garlic (press or finely chop the garlic cloves), juice of half the lemon, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the prawns are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) while the prawns are marinating.

  2. 4

    Arrange the Prawns

    Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the marinated prawns in a single layer on the tray, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

  3. 5

    Roast the Prawns

    Roast the prawns in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Prawns

    Once cooked, remove the prawns from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Transfer the prawns to a serving platter.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the platter with lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot.
