Garlic Prawns (Shrimp!)
Recipe video above. Hands down, my favourite way to cook fresh prawns! Simple and fabulous, the 3 tips for top notch garlic prawns is to chop rather than use a mincer for the garlic (it splatters and burns on high heat), add the garlic partway through cooking (else it burns), and a splash of wine gives this a flavour edge as well as stopping the garlic from burning. Serves 2 - 3 as a main, 4 - 5 as a starter.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Marinade: Place the prawns, 1 tablespoon olive oil and pepper in bowl. Gently toss then set aside for ⏱️ 20 minutes (no longer else the prawns will sweat from the salt),.

Cooking
3
Sear in batches: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Place half the prawns in the pan then sear each side for just ⏱️ 45 seconds, using tongs to turn.
4
Remove & repeat: Remove prawns onto a plate, heat the last 1 tablespoon of oil and cook each side for ⏱️ 45 seconds.
5
Return first batch of prawns back into pan.
6
Garlic - Add garlic then stir for ⏱️ 30 seconds.
7
Add wine - it will sizzle and be steamy! Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine mostly evaporates - around ⏱️ 30 seconds.
8
Butter & lemon: Scatter butter across pan, add lemon juice. Swirl butter around the pan until it melts, then toss through the parsley.
