Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns (large, peeled and deveined)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the prawns to season them.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the prawns to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the prawns are pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add lemon juice to the pan and stir to combine with the butter and garlic.
Return the cooked prawns to the pan and toss them in the butter sauce to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the prawns from the pan and transfer them to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining butter sauce from the pan over the prawns.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
