Ingredients
- 1 lb Large raw prawns (deveined, shells on or off as preferred)
- 3 tbsp Ghee (Whole30-compliant)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Lemon (sliced into wedges for serving)
- 2 cups Water (for steaming)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the ghee over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
Step 3
Stir in the sea salt and black pepper to the garlic ghee mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Prepare a steaming setup with a steamer basket in a pot. Add 2 cups of water to the pot, ensuring the water level is below the steamer basket. Cover and bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
Step 5
Place the prawns in a single layer inside the steamer basket. Brush a generous amount of the garlic ghee onto the prawns.
Step 6
Cover the pot with a lid and steam for 6-8 minutes or until the prawns turn pink and opaque. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the prawns.
Step 7
Once steamed, transfer the prawns to a serving platter. Drizzle the remaining garlic ghee over the prawns and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the prawns. Enjoy your Whole30-compliant meal!
