Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine large prawns with minced garlic, olive oil, and your choice of spices or herbs for flavor enhancement. Allow to marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, adding a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add marinated prawns in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and pour in heavy cream. Stir gently as it heats, then gradually sprinkle in Parmesan cheese while whisking.
  4. Return the seared prawns to the skillet with the creamy sauce and simmer on low heat for 3-4 minutes, ensuring prawns are heated through and coated in sauce.
  5. Plate the Creamy Garlic Prawns elegantly, garnishing with chopped parsley or basil for added color and aroma.
