Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns (peeled and deveined, tails intact)
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Chilli flakes
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and chilli flakes. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter and allow the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Add the prawns to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until they start turning pink and opaque.
Flip the prawns and pour the prepared sauce mixture over them. Let the prawns cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the prawns with chopped parsley for a fresh garnish.
Serve immediately on a bed of steamed rice, with a side of vegetables, or as a standalone appetizer. Enjoy your Chilli Honey and Garlic Prawns!
