Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns, large and deveined
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the prawns with lemon juice, half of the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the prawns with the marinade.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the remaining minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the marinated prawns to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes and lemon zest over the prawns. Toss everything to combine well.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the prawns with fresh parsley.
Serve the pan-fried prawns immediately while hot, optionally with a wedge of lemon on the side for extra zing.
