Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large prawns (peeled, deveined, tails on)
• 12 slices Prosciutto slices
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the prawns dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Wrap each prawn with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring the prosciutto is secure around the prawn. Place the wrapped prawns on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Drizzle the prosciutto-wrapped prawns with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the prawns are pink and opaque and the prosciutto is crispy.

Step 5

While the prawns bake, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has slightly thickened.

Step 8

Add the lemon juice to the sauce and season it with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Once the prawns are done, arrange them on a serving platter and drizzle the garlic sauce over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Prosciutto Wrapped Prawns with Garlic Sauce as an appetizer or light main dish.
