Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear instead of steaming. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prawns in a single layer. Cook for about 1–2 minutes until they start to turn pink, then flip.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for just 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Pour in the white wine (or broth) and let it bubble and reduce by half, about 1–2 minutes.
Turn the heat down to low. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the lemon juice. Toss everything together until the butter melts into a glossy, emulsified sauce.
Remove from heat, stir in the fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Serve with a crusty baguette to soak up the garlic butter sauce or toss over pasta or rice for a complete meal.
Use dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc for the best flavor, or substitute with chicken broth if preferred.
Patting the prawns dry ensures they sear properly instead of steaming.
Can I use frozen prawns?
Yes, but make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture.
What can I substitute for white wine?
You can use chicken broth as a substitute for white wine.
Can I use jarred garlic instead of fresh?
Fresh garlic is recommended for the best flavor, as jarred garlic can taste less vibrant.
How do I prevent the garlic from burning?
Cook the garlic for only 30 seconds and keep the heat at medium-high to avoid burning.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
This dish is best served immediately, but you can prep the ingredients ahead to save time.
