SpicenEasy's Cajun Garlic Butter Prawns

• Prep Time: 5 minutes

• Cook Time: 10 minutes

• Serves: 2-3

Ingredients:

• 500g raw prawns, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)

• 2 tbsp SpicenEasy Cajun Spice Blend

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 60g butter, cubed

• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

• Salt to taste

• Lemon wedges to serve

Instructions:

1. Season the Prawns: Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel. Place them in a bowl and toss with the SpicenEasy Cajun Spice Blend until evenly coated.

2. Sear the Prawns: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the prawns in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.

3. Create the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the butter and lemon juice, stirring until the butter melts and forms a sauce.

4. Combine and Serve: Return the prawns to the pan, tossing to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Stir through the fresh parsley and season with a pinch of salt if needed.

5. Serve Immediately: Serve your Cajun Garlic Butter Prawns hot over steamed rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges.

Chef's Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the prawns, or they'll steam instead of sear. Cook in batches if necessary for the best result. For extra richness, add a splash of cream or chicken stock to the sauce at the end.
