Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 2–3 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, the juice of 1/2 medium lemon (about 1–2 tablespoons), and 1 lb peeled, deveined king prawns. Toss to coat the prawns evenly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons garlic olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers (about 1 minute).
- Add the prawns in a single layer to the hot pan (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding). Cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes, until the edges begin to turn pink.
- Flip the prawns and cook 1–2 more minutes, until the prawns are opaque and cooked through.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, and toss for about 30 seconds to combine and wilt the parsley slightly.
- Transfer the prawns to a serving dish and set aside (or serve immediately).
