Ingredients

  • 1 pound large prawns, peeled and deveined

  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat the prawns dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the prawns in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side until pink and slightly golden.

Notes

  • Avoid overcooking, as prawns can become tough and rubbery.
  • Add a splash of white wine after sautéing garlic for extra depth of flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper searing.
