Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh prawns, peeled and deveined (tails on)
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 60 ml Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Rinse the prawns thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.
3. Once the butter starts to sizzle, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
4. Add the prawns to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until they turn pink and slightly opaque.
5. Flip the prawns and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
6. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly and develop flavor.
7. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Allow the butter to melt and coat the prawns in a rich sauce.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the prawns with fresh parsley and lemon zest for a bright, herby garnish.
9. Serve immediately with crusty bread, rice, or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy your gourmet prawns!
