Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the large prawns with minced fresh garlic. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes, then add olive oil.
  3. Add marinated prawns to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove and keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream gradually, whisking to combine.
  5. Add Parmesan cheese to the cream and stir gently, simmering for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return the cooked prawns to the skillet, tossing in the sauce. Cook together for another minute to absorb flavors.
  7. Serve the creamy garlic prawns hot, with sauce poured over them and options like cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
