5. Prawns in Garlic Butter Sauce

What You're Gonna Need: 

Prawns                   250 g
Butter                     100 g
Lemon Juice          1/2 a tea-cup
Garlic, chopped
Chili flakes
Salt to taste

What You're Gonna Do: 

Clean and devein the prawns, keep the tails on. ( Or remove them if you wish, I like mine because it adds flavour.)

Heat a non-stick skillet and add about 1/4th of the butter. Allow it to melt.

Add the chopped garlic and fry till its fragrant but do not allow any browning.

Add the prawns, fry until cooked. ( The tail will turn orange & the body white.)

Do not overcook the prawns, they will get rubbery and unpleasant.

Slowly add the rest of the butter, alternating with the lemon juice until both are used up.


The flame on your gas should sit low through this step. Otherwise, the butter will brown and the lemon juice will taste bitter!

Toss together. Season with salt.

Garnish with greens of your choice.

Tada!

P.S: It is one of the simplest yet tastiest prawns you'll ever taste.
