Description

The prawns can be peeled or not; provide finger bowls and plenty of paper napkins if you leave the shell on.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Mix the butter, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley together, and season to taste with salt and plenty of pepper.

Step 2 of 4

Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add half the prawns and pan-fry over a medium heat for 2 minutes, or until they have lost their translucency and turned pink. Lift onto a large serving platter and keep warm while you cook the remaining prawns in the same way.

Step 3 of 4

Wipe out the frying pan if necessary and add the garlic butter. Heat until hot and foaming and the garlic is soft, but not brown. Add a splash of lemon juice to stop the cooking and immediately pour over the prawns.

Step 4 of 4

Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve at once.
