Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns (shell-on, deveined)
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 50 grams Dairy-free butter (e.g., plant-based butter or margarine)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Directions
Step 1
Clean and prepare the prawns by rinsing under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the dairy-free butter over low heat. Add olive oil to prevent burning.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Step 4
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the garlic butter, stirring well. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
Prepare a steamer by bringing a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Place the cleaned prawns in a heatproof dish that fits inside the steamer basket.
Step 6
Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the prawns, ensuring each prawn is coated.
Step 7
Place the dish into the steamer basket, cover, and steam the prawns for 6-8 minutes or until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
Step 8
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the prawns for garnish.
Step 9
Serve the prawns immediately with the garlic butter sauce spooned over the top. Pair with steamed rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
