Butter-Garlic Prawns
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Butter, divided
- 500 gm Prawns, medium sized, peeled, deveined and cleaned
- 1 no Lemon, thinly sliced
- ½ tbsp Chilli flakes
- 4 no Garlic cloves, minced
- Salt, as acquired
- 4 tbsp Lemon juice, approx one medium sized lemon
- ¼ cup White wine (see notes)
- ¼ cup Coriander leaves (for garmish)
Instructions
- Take a large skillet and heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to medium heat (see notes)
- Add the prawns, sliced lemon, chilli flakes, garlic and salt and stir occasionally and cook until prawns turn pink (about 3min per side)
- Take the pan off the heat and stir in the remaining butter followed by the lemon juice and white wine.
- Check salt and add if needed. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves (see notes) and serve
Notes
- Use any inexpensive white wine. If you desire, you can substitute the wine with water or chicken stock
- The prawns need to be gently cooked and not fried or scorched. Ensure pan is at medium heat and cook only until the prawns turn pink. Over-cooking will turn them rubbery
- If you desire, substitute the coriander with parsley
