Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the prawns, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 3 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, until fragrant (being careful not to burn the garlic).
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Let the sauce simmer for another 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
- Return the prawns to the skillet and toss them in the creamy garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through and ensure the prawns are coated in the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, over rice or pasta.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking the prawns.
- Variation: Add chili flakes for heat, or a splash of white wine for added flavor in the sauce.
- Tips: Be careful not to overcook the prawns, as they cook quickly and can become rubbery.
