Dublin Bay prawns — Ensure that the prawns are fresh and properly cleaned before cooking. Overcooking can result in rubbery prawns, so be careful to cook them just until they turn pink and are no longer translucent.

For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce.
Serve the prawns with crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce.
If Dublin Bay prawns are not available, you can substitute them with other large prawns or shrimp.

Serving advice
