This spicy butter garlic prawns is kinda the recipe that we blindly tend to order from the menu, if it's listed.
We both love prawns and get it as a starter when we eat out. There was something called “Freddie Prawns” that we always used to get from one of our fav restaurants in Bahrain. This dish though completely different reminded me of that.
This is one of the easiest, super quick and tasty prawns recipe I've ever made. There is hardly any chopping involved and prawns gets cooked in no time! After all what's not to like about it… there is butter, there is garlic, there is prawns and there is a lil bit of heat to spice things up ;)
Perfect recipe for entertaining or for you to indulge in during the weekend!
Hope you get to try this and like it too.
