Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the prawns, half of the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the prawns are well-coated with the marinade.

Step 5
Turn the prawns over and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are fully cooked and opaque throughout.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat, and drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the prawns.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a main dish or alongside steamed vegetables or a light salad.
