Chili Garlic Butter Prawns

Ingredients

• 250 g prawns (peeled and deveined)
• 1 garlic (whole bulb, minced)
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp olive oil (for sautéing)
• 1 cup cooked white rice (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the garlic by peeling and mincing an entire bulb (or to your preference). Set aside.

2. 2

   Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil.

3. 3

   Add the prawns to the skillet and cook until they just turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove prawns from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it.

5. 5

   Stir in the gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), soy sauce, and honey to create a spicy glaze.

6. 6

   Return the cooked prawns to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat every prawn in the chili garlic butter sauce.

7. 7

   Serve the prawns immediately, ideally over a bed of steamed white rice for a complete meal prep bowl.
