Baked Skull Island Prawns in Garlic Butter, Chilli & Chives
Recipe by Sian Hughes from her Instagram profile @recipebreakout
This version of the recipe leaves the heads on which have incredible flavour but you might also prefer our butterflied version with the head removed?
What you need: 3/6 extra large prawns (depending on whether it’s for a starter or main), I tub of garlic butter, a good pinch of chilli flakes, a small bunch of fresh chives, finely chopped, a few limes, cut into wedges and a little freshly chopped parsley/dill to finish
🐟 Start with the prawns laid out on a good solid chopping board and take a super sharp knife or pair of kitchen scissors and cut through each one lengthways. Clean, devein, rinse in cold water and set aside on kitchen paper
🐟 Then lay the prawn halves in a wide bottomed ovenproof dish. Use a teaspoon to spoon out the garlic butter and dot all around the dish and on top of the prawns. Sprinkle with the chilli flakes and chives and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper
🐟 Finally give everything a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, pop in a hottish oven (170ish) and cook for 8-10 mins, until the butter's sizzling and the prawns are nice and pink and opaque all over. Serve with plenty of fresh bread
