Ingredients

  • =
  • 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons seasoning, mix (recipe follows)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use San-J Wheat-Free Tamari to make this gluten-free and wheat-free)

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • ==

Directions

1

Mix all the seasoning mix ingredients in a food processor and set aside.

2

Stored in a sealed container, it will keep indefinitely for future use.

3

Blend the garlic, olive oil, 2 T seasoning mix, lemon juice, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl.

4

Add the prawns and the chopped parsley to the mixture and toss well to coat.

5

Refigerate overnight.

6

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

7

Place prawns with the marinade in a large, heavy skillet (large enough to fit prawns in a single layer or cook in batches) and place in oven.

8

In about 2 to 3 minutes, shake the pan to ensure even cooking and repeat in another 2 to 3 minutes.

9

At this point the mixture should be bubbling and the prawns will be turning opaque.

10

Transfer the pan to a stovetop, over medium heat and begin adding the butter in 1 to 2 T increments, shaking the pan the entire time, allowing the butter to emulsify into the mixture before adding any more butter.

11

This process should take about 4 to 5 minutes.

12

When completed, pour onto a platter and serve immediately with plenty of good, crispy bread.
