Ингредиенты

Peeled raw king prawns - 650 gr

Garlic - 9 cloves (5 finely chopped, 4 grated)

Butter - 7 tbsp.

Panko breadcrumbs - ½ tbsp.

Lemon zest - 3 tsp

Olive oil - 1 tbsp.

Ground red pepper flakes - ½ tsp

Dry white wine - ½ tbsp.

Juice of 1 lemon

Parsley - 1/3 bunch of parsley

Рецепт

1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp and 2 grated garlic cloves; season generously with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

2. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

3. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest, season with a pinch of salt and stir. Transfer to a small bowl.

4. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. If necessary, working in batches, add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until completely pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate.

5. In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red pepper and remaining 5 chopped garlic cloves and cook, stirring, until the garlic turns brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

6. Add wine, lemon juice and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon zest and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about one-third, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the oil emulsifies into a sauce. Bring to a boil until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chopped parsley and stir.

7. Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes.

8. Top with garlic breadcrumbs and parsley.
