Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns (peeled and deveined, tails intact)
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Chilli flakes
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and chilli flakes. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter and allow the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the prawns to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until they start turning pink and opaque.
Step 6
Flip the prawns and pour the prepared sauce mixture over them. Let the prawns cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the prawns with chopped parsley for a fresh garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately on a bed of steamed rice, with a side of vegetables, or as a standalone appetizer. Enjoy your Chilli Honey and Garlic Prawns!
