Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 300g fresh peeled and deveined prawns
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Prawns: Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Peel and devein if not already done, ensuring every bite is clean and pleasant.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning and to release its aroma.
  3. Cook the Prawns: Increase heat to medium-high and place the prawns in a single layer in the skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until the prawns turn pink and opaque, being careful not to overcook to avoid rubbery texture.
  4. Make the Creamy Sauce: Reduce heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Add lemon juice, season with salt and black pepper, and mix to combine all flavors thoroughly.
  5. Finish with Fresh Herbs: Turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the prawns and sauce. This final garnish adds freshness and vibrant color to the dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh prawns if possible for the best texture and flavor; frozen prawns are acceptable if thawed completely.
  • Be cautious not to burn the garlic; it should be lightly golden and aromatic.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it.
  • Allow the prawns to rest in the sauce off heat for a minute to soak up the flavors.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy sauce and tender prawns at their best.
