Garlic Prawns
Succulent, aromatic, and irresistibly flavorful, Garlic Prawns are a beloved seafood dish that showcases the natural sweetness of tender prawns with the bold, mouthwatering punch of fresh garlic and herbs. Quick to cook yet rich in taste, they’re perfect as an appetizer, tapas-style snack, or a light main course.
Fresh prawns are cleaned, deveined, and sautéed in a hot pan with generous amounts of finely chopped garlic gently sizzled in butter or olive oil until fragrant and golden. A splash of fresh lemon juice or white wine is often added to brighten the flavors, while a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or coriander adds a pop of color and freshness.
The prawns are cooked just until pink, juicy, and lightly caramelized on the edges, absorbing the garlicky, buttery sauce beautifully. A hint of chili flakes or cracked black pepper can be added for a mild kick if desired.
Served sizzling hot — often with a wedge of lemon and warm crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up the delicious garlic-infused juices — Garlic Prawns are simple yet indulgent, delivering restaurant-quality flavor in every bite.
