  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup green onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • or 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes

Instructions

  1. Sauté garlic in olive oil over low heat. Add butter and remaining ingredients and bring to a medium heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until done. Prawns will be firm. Do not let butter and oil mixture begin to boil, as this will burn prawns.
