Garlic Butter Prawn Skillet

1.Pat the prawns dry with paper towels to ensure they sear properly.

2.Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

3.Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4.Add the prawns to the skillet in a single layer, seasoning them with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes if using.

5.Cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink and opaque, then flip them over.

6.Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, spooning the melted butter and garlic over the prawns to coat them evenly.

7.Once the prawns are fully cooked and opaque, remove the skillet from heat.

8.Stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley, tossing gently to combine and coat the prawns in the garlic butter sauce.

9.Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the prawns.
