Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh prawns, peeled and deveined (tails on)
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 60 ml Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 3

3. Once the butter starts to sizzle, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.

Step 4

4. Add the prawns to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until they turn pink and slightly opaque.

Step 5

5. Flip the prawns and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.

Step 6

6. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly and develop flavor.

Step 7

7. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Allow the butter to melt and coat the prawns in a rich sauce.

Step 8

8. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the prawns with fresh parsley and lemon zest for a bright, herby garnish.

Step 9

9. Serve immediately with crusty bread, rice, or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy your gourmet prawns!
