Ingredients
Scale
-
- 300g large raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
-
- 2 cloves garlic (finely sliced)
-
- 1 fresh red chili (sliced)
-
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
-
- A small bunch of fresh parsley (chopped)
-
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
-
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Prawns
-
- Clean the prawns: Peel and devein the prawns if not already done. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
-
- Heat the olive oil: In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced garlic and chili, cooking for 1-2 minutes until they start to sizzle and become fragrant.
Step 3: Cook the Prawns
-
- Add the prawns to the pan: Place the prawns into the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque, and are just cooked through.
Step 4: Add Lemon and Parsley
-
- Add the lemon zest and juice: Once the prawns are cooked, add the zest and juice of one lemon, tossing the prawns in the pan to coat them evenly.
-
- Garnish with parsley: Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the prawns and give everything a good stir to combine.
Step 5: Serve
-
- Plate the prawns: Transfer the prawns to a serving dish, making sure to pour over any juices from the pan.
-
- Serve immediately: Enjoy these prawns on their own, with a side of crusty bread, or over a bed of rice or salad.
