Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 whole lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes.
Step 3
Add the peeled and deveined prawns to the bowl, and toss well to ensure the prawns are evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 4
Place the prawns in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 5
Roast the prawns in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
Step 6
While the prawns are roasting, chop the fresh parsley and prepare the lemon juice.
Step 7
Once the prawns are out of the oven, drizzle them with the lemon juice and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve the roasted prawns immediately as a standalone dish, or pair them with a side of crusty bread, rice, or salad. Enjoy!
