Butter Garlic Prawns is a sophisticated yet simple seafood dish that highlights the natural sweetness of fresh prawns. This continental-style preparation involves quick-searing the prawns in a decadent pool of melted butter and an abundance of finely minced garlic. The addition of cracked black pepper and a splash of lemon juice provides a refreshing zing that cuts through the richness. Its texture is succulent and juicy, with each prawn coated in a glossy, aromatic sauce. This dish is a favorite starter for fine-dining experiences and pairs excellently with toasted sourdough bread or herb rice.

Tips & Secrets
- Use high-quality butter as it is the primary flavor carrier for this dish.
- Do not brown the garlic; burnt garlic turns bitter and ruins the delicate sauce.
- Adding a little olive oil with the butter prevents the butter from burning at high heat.
- Always pat the prawns dry; excess moisture prevents the signature golden sear.
