Ingredients

• 500 g large raw prawns (peeled, deveined, tails on)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
• 1 lime (zested and juiced)
• 2 tbsp lovage leaves (finely chopped)
• 100 ml Pineau Des Charentes
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh lovage leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Add the prawns to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2 minutes on one side until they start turning pink.

Step 5

Flip the prawns and sprinkle them with the lemon zest, lime zest, and chopped lovage leaves.

Step 6

Pour in the Pineau Des Charentes and the juice from the lemon and lime. Stir gently to coat the prawns in the sauce.

Step 7

Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Allow the prawns to simmer for 3-4 minutes until they are fully cooked and opaque.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let the prawns rest in the sauce for 1 minute to absorb flavors.

Step 9

Transfer the prawns to a serving plate, drizzle them with the remaining sauce from the skillet, and garnish with fresh lovage leaves.

Step 10

Serve immediately with crusty bread or over a bed of steamed rice for a complete meal.
