So quick and easy to make, yet absolutely delicious, these buttery garlic prawns can be served as a starter, a tapas dish, alongside a salad, or simply on their own for a tasty supper. Meat-eaters can add chopped chorizo to the pan before the prawns to cook for a few minutes first for even more flavour. Great served with crusty bread to dip into the butter.
