My mom brought us prawns and we figured we had to do them justice, it takes quite a while to prep but cooks fast and is super tasty

Steps

1

Ensuring the prawns have been deveined, give them a quick wash.
2

Chop dhania, chili and garlic finely. Place a pan and let it get hot. Add the butter and spices.
3

Once butter is melted, you can add a tbsp of oil to avoid fast browning of butter. Add the prawns and let them sear without stirring. After about 2 minutes, flip the prawns and let this side sear as well. Add the chopped garlic, chilli and dhania. Season.

You’ll know it’s ready when your people start randomly checking up on what you’re making. 😆 Let it cool slightly before serving it over a bed of saffron or white rice. Season with another pinch of salt and black pepper, with a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy 😊
