Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Prawns
Enjoy succulent, pan-seared prawns brightened with fresh lemon and garlic, perfectly paired with a side of fluffy quinoa for a light yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces peeled & deveined prawns
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 lemon (juice and zest)
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic to the skillet, stirring quickly to avoid burning, and let the aromatic garlic infuse the oil for about 30 seconds.
Place the prawns in the skillet in a single layer and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the prawns and add lemon zest during the final 30 seconds of cooking.
Remove the prawns from the skillet and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the lemon garlic pan-seared prawns on a plate with the 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa as a bed, drizzling any remaining pan sauce over top.
