Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil (for greasing the steamer basket)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your steamer setup by filling the pot with water just below the steamer basket. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 2
Lightly grease the steamer basket or tray with olive oil to prevent the prawns from sticking.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic to the melted butter and stir gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the prawns in a single layer in the steamer basket. Use a pastry brush or spoon to drizzle half of the garlic butter mixture evenly over the prawns.
Step 5
Cover the steamer and steam the prawns for 5-7 minutes, or until they turn pink and are opaque. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the prawns rubbery.
Step 6
Transfer the steamed prawns to a serving platter. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter sauce over the prawns.
Step 7
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Optionally, provide extra lemon wedges on the side for added zest.
