Roasted Prawns

These prawns (monster size shrimp) are sweet and succulent. Roasted prawns taste and cook just like shrimp. The only difference is the number of claws they have next to their legs. They are however somewhat hard to find. Upscale supermarkets or a good seafood shop should have them.

Ingredients;
2 or 4 Prawns, shell on or off is your choice
1 TBLS butter
2 TBLS extra virgin olive oil
1 clove of garlic, mashed and minced
Dash of red pepper flakes
Parsley, minced

Directions;
Preheat oven to 400.
I like to peel, head and devein the prawns, leaving just the tail shell on. Melt the butter and combine with the oil and garlic. Place the prawns in a foil wrap and pour the butter mixture over the prawns. Top with the red pepper flakes and close the foil wrap.
Wrap them close together so the juices don’t evaporate.
Bake for 10 mins. Open the wrap and serve sprinkled with parsley.
