Garlic Prawns with Citrus Chilli Butter

Sizzle and spice meet zesty brightness in our Garlic Prawns with Citrus Chilli Butter. Plump Australian wild caught banana prawns - both whole and peeled - are seared to perfection in a rich blend of butter, olive oil, and sliced garlic. Infused with the bold flavours of fresh lemon zest and a touch of red chilli, this dish is finished with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a burst of freshness. Served with lemon wedges and crusty bread to soak up every last drop of the citrusy, spicy butter, it’s a vibrant, flavour-packed seafood experience ideal for sharing.
