Ingredients
- 500 g Raw king prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 2 pieces Fresh red chilli (finely chopped)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 30 g Fresh coriander (chopped)
- 1 piece Lemon (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Spring onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Place them in a large bowl.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the chopped red chilli, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Add the olive oil to the mixture and whisk to combine, creating the marinade.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the prawns. Add the chopped coriander and mix well to coat all the prawns evenly. Let the prawns marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated prawns to the pan in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary).
Step 6
Cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the prawns from the pan and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced spring onions.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
