For Serving

Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat until lightly bubbling.

Notes
Cook prawns slightly longer for firmer texture or less for softer juicy bites. Freeze cleaned uncooked prawns separately for easier future meals. Stir gently during cooking to keep prawns tender and evenly coated. Customize flavors with smoked paprika, basil, spinach, or extra garlic butter. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to two days and reheat gently in a skillet for best texture.
