What you need
  

  • 2 tbsp  olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 5 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/4 lb large shrimp prawns, shelled with tails on or off

  • Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan or skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds - 1 minute). Then add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper to taste and sauté for 1-2 minutes on one side (until just beginning to turn pink), then flip.
