Description

I like to use the biggest prawns that I can find. In this recipe for great flavour, we have some citrusy notes from limes and a spicy kick from chilli flakes and it is a winning combination. Serve it with salad for low carb option or other sides of your choice.

Ingredients
  • 400 g jumbo king prawns (with shells)
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tsp dry chilli pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • hot sauce (to taste)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • salt (to taste)
Instructions

  1. To the bowl with prawns add lime juice, paprika, chilli pepper, salt, hot sauce, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Stir it well and leave for 15 minutes to marinate.

  2. Preheat the pan to high heat and add 1 tbsp each olive oil and butter.

  3. Add prawns and fry for 1-2 minutes, until they turn pink. Then flip each prawn and fry for 1 minute.

  4. Next, add garlic and toss prawns a bit, cook for another 1-2 minutes. 

  5. Serve with some more hot sauce, fresh parsley and your favourite sides and enjoy!
