Garlic and lemon prawns recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
A tapas classic, pan-fried prawns are quick, easy and bursting with flavours of the Mediterranean. Known traditionally as 'gambas', a drizzling of fiery garlic butter brings this dish together. Best served with crusty bread to mop up any delicious, leftover juices.
