Method
- 1
Mash the butter with the garlic, parsley, lemon zest and juice and chilli flakes. Season with black pepper.
- 2
Slit each prawn down the back with scissors and remove the dark vein, leaving the shell on to keep them juicy.
- 3
Toss the prawns in the oil. Cook on a hot barbecue or griddle for 2 to 3 minutes each side until pink and curled.
5 min - 4
Pile into a warm dish and dot with the garlic butter so it melts through. Serve with the baguette to mop up the juices and lemon wedges.
