Broiled Lemon and Garlic Tiger Prawns

So I made mine a little different. Instead of melting the butter, i put it and the fresh garlic cloves in the food processor, crushed it and poured in the lemon juice.

EXCELLENT! My changes were to use fresh garlic, butterfly from the top side, and I forgot the parmesan cheese. This took such little time to make. Earlier in the day I had made twice baked potatoes, so dinner was ready in a flash! I served with a side of brussel sprouts. This meal will definitely be seen again! We really enjoyed it! Thank you SP JENSEN for sharing!

This recipe was AWESOME! I don't get the others who didn't like it. Bland? Needs salt? No way, the butter and parm add plenty of salt and flavor. If you don't add the cheese, you lose the YUMMMY crusted flavor. Although I don't really measure things so I added like 4 cloves of garlic, which really adds to the flavor and was a bit like scampi. But who doesn't like scampi?! I poured the garlic lemon butter over the shrimp in a bowl and mixed it all up. Then I sprinkled half the shrimp on a cookie sheet with red pepper chili flakes for my family who likes things KICKED UP a notch! I served it with a side of pesto orzo pasta mixed with peas and the whole dish was to DIE for! I could not stop eating the prawns! So butterly flavorful, using a quick & perfectly timed cooking method...definitely a keeper! Even used the extra garlic butter to go with the steamed crab "side dish" I also prepared. Only downfall was the prep time, but next time I will splurge on peeled and deveined shrimp (which it called for) to save time. But it was all worth it in the end! DELISH!!

This was a terrific appetizer, if a bit messy to make (what with all the melted butter). The guests would've been happy if there'd just been more of this and no entree at all!
