DUBLIN BAY PRAWNS WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Description:  Dublin Bay prawns, also known as langoustines, are cooked to perfection and coated in rich garlic butter, creating a dish that highlights the delicate flavor of the prawns and the aromatic essence of garlic.

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 5-7 minutes

Serving size: 4 servings


Ingredients

  • 20-24 fresh Dublin Bay prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  •  

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing the garlic butter. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
  2. Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Allow the flavors to infuse into the butter for a minute or two. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Preheat a grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, you can also thread the prawns onto skewers for easier grilling.
  4. Place the Dublin Bay prawns directly onto the grill or barbecue grates. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns are pink and opaque. The cooking time may vary based on the size of the prawns.
  5. Once the prawns are cooked, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
  6. Drizzle the prepared garlic butter over the cooked prawns, ensuring each prawn is coated in the flavorful butter.
  7. Serve the Dublin Bay prawns with garlic butter immediately, garnished with extra chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side.

 

Notes:

  • Dublin Bay prawns can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or even as a main course when paired with fresh salads or crusty bread.
  • The garlic butter can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator until needed. Simply reheat gently before drizzling over the cooked prawns.
  • Make sure to adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
