Ingredients
- 1 lb large prawns, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: pinch of red chili flakes or smoked paprika
Instructions
- Pat prawns dry, season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, add garlic, and cook about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Remove from heat and stir in parsley, lemon juice, and optional chili flakes or paprika.
- Grill prawns 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred.
- Once off the grill, brush or drizzle the garlic-parsley butter over the hot prawns.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges and extra butter sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use cilantro or basil instead of parsley for a different flavor.
- Skewer the prawns for easy grilling.
- Add more chili flakes or cayenne for extra heat.
- Serve over rice, pasta, or a salad for a more substantial meal.
- For indoor cooking, use a hot grill pan or cast‑iron skillet.
