Hands down, my favourite way to cook fresh prawns! Simple and fabulous, the 3 tips for top notch garlic prawns is to chop rather than use a mincer for the garlic (it splatters and burns on high heat), add the garlic partway through cooking (else it burns), and a splash of wine gives this a flavour edge as well as stopping the garlic from burning. Serves 2 - 3 as a main, 4 - 5 as a starter.","servings":4,"servings_text":"4","prep_time":"PT10M","cook_time":"PT6M","total_time":"PT16M","image_url":"https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/03/Garlic-Prawns_4-SQ.jpg","ingredients":[{"text":"500g / 1lb  prawns (shrimp) (, peeled and deveined, tail on (unpeeled weight 1kg/2lb, Note 1))","item":"/ 1lb prawns (shrimp) (, peeled and deveined, tail on (unpeeled weight 1kg/2lb, Note 1))","quantity":500,"unit":"g"},{"text":"1/2 tsp cooking/koshfer salt","item":"cooking/koshfer salt","quantity":0.5,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"1/2 tsp black pepper","item":"black pepper","quantity":0.5,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil ((separated))","item":"extra virgin olive oil ((separated))","quantity":3,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"3 tsp finely minced garlic cloves (~ 4 cloves) ((use knife, not crusher/mincer))","item":"finely minced garlic cloves (~ 4 cloves) ((use knife, not crusher/mincer))","quantity":3,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"40g / 3 tbsp  unsalted butter (, cut into 1.5cm / 1/2\" cubes (Note 2))","item":"/ 3 tbsp unsalted butter (, cut into 1.5cm / 1/2\" cubes (Note 2))","quantity":40,"unit":"g"},{"text":"1/4 cup chardonnay or other dry white wine ((Note 3))","item":"chardonnay or other dry white wine ((Note 3))","quantity":0.25,"unit":"cup"},{"text":"1 tbsp lemon juice","item":"lemon juice","quantity":1,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped ((garnish))","item":"parsley","quantity":1,"unit":"tbsp","preparation":"finely chopped ((garnish))"},{"text":"Lemon wedges","item":"Lemon wedges"},{"text":"Bread for mopping!","item":"Bread for mopping!"}],"instructions":[{"number":1,"text":"Marinade: Place the prawns, 1 tablespoon olive oil and pepper in bowl.
