Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined

- 1 unit lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
Begin by rinsing the prawns under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the prawns to the skillet in a single layer. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink and slightly opaque.
Flip the prawns over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked through.
Once the prawns are cooked, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh parsley, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the garlic prawns to a serving dish.
Garnish with extra parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Garlic Prawns.
