King prawns with garlic butter
20 minutes
4
- Skin and chop the garlic cloves, mix with chopped parsley and the juice of half a lemon and blend with the softened butter.
- Place the butter mixture in cling film in the shape of a sausage; roll up gently, twisting the ends to tightly compress the mixture. Chill in the fridge.
- Defrost the king prawns; they can be left in the fridge overnight or hurried along in a sink of cold water.
- Split the prawns along the back, leaving the shell intact on the underside.
- Pat dry with paper towel and place on a baking tray.
- Spread the chilled garlic butter over the prawn flesh, leaving some to use as a garnish when they are cooked.
- Roast in a hot oven for 4 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the prawns.
- Serve with lemon wedges and slices of the garlic butter.
