Ingredients
- 500 grams Large raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 unit Lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 60 milliliters White wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together until combined and slightly bubbly.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4
Stir in the chili flakes, salt, and black pepper, allowing the spices to infuse the butter mixture for 1 minute.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the prawns in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until they turn pink and opaque.
Step 6
Flip the prawns, and pour in the white wine, if using, stirring gently to deglaze the skillet. Let the prawns cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the lemon juice and zest. Toss the prawns to coat them evenly in the citrusy, buttery sauce.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the prawns.
Step 9
Serve immediately with crusty bread, rice, or pasta to soak up the luscious sauce.
