- 3 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste)
- Lemon
- 1, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle or large frying pan over high heat until it's very hot.
- In a bowl, combine the prawns, olive oil, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and salt. Toss well to ensure the prawns are evenly coated with the mixture.

Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the prawns in the olive oil, garlic, and chili flakes for 30 minutes before cooking.

- Pair with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices or serve alongside a fresh salad for a light meal.
