Note
Do not overcook the prawns
Tiger prawns cook very quickly. Remove them from heat as soon as they turn pink and opaque to keep them juicy and tender.
Add garlic after the butter melts
Garlic burns fast. Always add it after the butter has melted and the heat is medium to avoid bitterness.
Control the heat
Cook on medium heat so the butter doesn’t burn and the prawns cook evenly while absorbing the garlic flavor.
