Quick Prawns with Garlic Butter and Parsley
Succulent meaty prawns are cooked whole in a luscious and aromatic butter sauce with minced garlic and fresh parsley.
Equipment
- 1 large pan
Ingredients
- 14-16 whole large prawns
- 3 tbsp cooking oil
- 50g salted butter
- 5-6 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 tbsp of chopped parsley leaves
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat 3 tbsp of cooking oil to high.
- Add prawns and fry them for 4-6 minutes, often tossing the pan, until they've turned red.
- Stir in 50g butter, garlic and parsley.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, moving the prawns around so that they are all coated in garlic butter.
- Serve in fresh bread to mop up the sauce.
Notes
- For a little sophistication, you can add dry white wine. In this case, remove the prawns from the pan after frying them in oil, deglaze the pan with 1/2 glasses of white wine and allow the alcohol to evaporate. Stir in butter, garlic and parsley, return the prawns to the pan and cook for further 2 minutes, tossing every now and then.
- You can also add red chili flakes for a kick, and drizzle with fresh lemon juice to finish.
