Reviews
My first attempt at Spanish Lemon Garlic Prawns was a success, with one small note for next time. Mine needed barely four minutes in total, and the prawns stayed beautifully tender.
John RedwoodI enjoyed making Spanish Lemon Garlic Prawns and the instructions behaved exactly as promised. Keeping the garlic pale before adding the prawns prevented any bitter flavour.
steve4Spanish Lemon Garlic Prawns earned a permanent place in my recipe folder. The lemon juice turned the garlicky pan juices into a sauce made for dipping bread.
