Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by rinsing the prawns under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the prawns with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the prawns are evenly coated.
Set a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the prawns in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the prawns for about 2 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking as they can become rubbery.
Remove the prawns from the pan and place them on a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
