Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 whole lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes.
Add the peeled and deveined prawns to the bowl, and toss well to ensure the prawns are evenly coated with the marinade.
Place the prawns in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast the prawns in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
While the prawns are roasting, chop the fresh parsley and prepare the lemon juice.
Once the prawns are out of the oven, drizzle them with the lemon juice and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
Serve the roasted prawns immediately as a standalone dish, or pair them with a side of crusty bread, rice, or salad. Enjoy!
