- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Prepare your steamer by filling it with water, making sure the water level is below the steaming rack. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the prawns in a single layer on a large plate or shallow dish that's safe for steaming.
Step 4
Drizzle the melted garlic butter mixture evenly over the prawns, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 5
Carefully place the plate of prawns in the steamer. Cover and steam for about 6-8 minutes or until the prawns are pink and just cooked through.
Step 6
While the prawns are steaming, chop the fresh parsley if you haven't done so already.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the plate from the steamer and sprinkle the steamed prawns with chopped parsley for garnish.
Step 8
Serve hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for an extra tangy kick. Enjoy your deliciously simple steamed garlic butter prawns!
