Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 units Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 150 milliliters Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry using a paper towel. Set them aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes and smoked paprika into the pan, and stir well to combine with the garlic and oil.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the prawns to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the sauce to slightly reduce.
Add the lemon juice and half of the chopped parsley to the sauce, stirring well to combine.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt, pepper, or chili flakes.
Remove the pan from the heat and garnish the prawns with the remaining parsley.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, rice, or pasta to soak up the flavorful sauce.
