By



Garlic Butter Prawns 🦐

Serves: 4
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 20 mins

Ingredients
1kg raw prawns, peeled and deveined, tails on
1 head of garlic
120g butter
2 bunch asparagus
20ml extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp sweet paprika
Sea salt, to season
½ bunch flat leaf parsley
Juice of 1 lemon, plus wedges to serve
Jasmine rice, to serve

Method
Step 1: Make the rice and garlic butter
Start cooking your rice either on the stove or in a rice cooker.
Peel and finely chop the garlic.
Add the butter in a large frying pan over low heat. Season the butter with some salt, then add the garlic. Let it melt and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until soft, sweet and fragrant. Do not allow it to brown.
Step 2: Grill the asparagus
Trim the ends of the asparagus. Heat a chargrill pan (or standard pan) over high heat with the olive oil.
Place the asparagus on the grill, season with some salt and cook for 5 minutes, turning until charred on all sides.
Step 3: Cook the prawns
Add the prawns to the garlic butter in a single layer, season with salt and sprinkle over the paprika. Increase the heat to medium-high.
Cook on the first side for 3 minutes, until they change colour, then stir and turn to cook the other side for 3 minutes.
Finely chop the parsley leaves, then add to the pan with the lemon juice. Toss briefly to combine, then remove from the heat.
Divide some steamed rice between serving plates. Top with the prawns and drizzle with the garlic butter sauce. Serve with the asparagus on the side and a lemon wedge.

    Honestly id just add the asparagus to the pan with butter and garlic. I mostly cook asparagus rhat way anyway. Keep the lid on to steam at the same time. Take out the aspargus and they will still be hot by the timethe shrimp are done.

    Dems some overcooked prawns bro. Here are some unpopular opinions to debate… Rice cookers are overrated. Parsley is the worst herb. Dairy products are not designed for humans. Lets go

    That is an offensive number of shrimp on that plate. I cant believe we have gone from un uncountable number to a dozen then to eight now youre the second person to serve 5 on a plate……….

    You just nailed my next date night cook. The kid doesn't eat prawns but my wife loves them even though we call them shrimps here in the United States

    Lol, again preaching to your audience while perpetuating the very things you are complaining about

    I make this same recipe all the time except I used Cajun seasonings and red chili flake. I love the spice with the garlic, butter and lemon flavor.
