Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns (shell-on, deveined)
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 50 grams Dairy-free butter (e.g., plant-based butter or margarine)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Clean and prepare the prawns by rinsing under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the dairy-free butter over low heat. Add olive oil to prevent burning.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the garlic butter, stirring well. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare a steamer by bringing a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Place the cleaned prawns in a heatproof dish that fits inside the steamer basket.
Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the prawns, ensuring each prawn is coated.
Place the dish into the steamer basket, cover, and steam the prawns for 6-8 minutes or until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the prawns for garnish.
Serve the prawns immediately with the garlic butter sauce spooned over the top. Pair with steamed rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
