Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Prawns

Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tails intact if desired.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 3: Sauté the Garlic

Add the finely chopped garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 4: Cook the Prawns

Add the prawns to the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque.
