1
Prepare the Prawns
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are completely peeled and deveined.
2
Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, red chili flakes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

3
Cook the Prawns
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the prawns in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside.
4
Make the Spicy Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the garlic mixture and stir well. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
5
Combine and Serve
Return the cooked prawns to the skillet and toss them in the spicy garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
