How to Make Baked Cheesy Prawns
- In a shallow dish, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and thyme to create a marinade.
- Add the peeled and deveined prawns (or shrimp) to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours) to allow the prawns to marinate.
- Preheat your oven to its highest setting (broil if available).
- Divide the marinated prawns and any remaining marinade evenly among 4-5 individual, shallow, oven-safe dishes.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the prawns in each dish.
- (Optional) Add halved cherry tomatoes and chopped parsley for extra flavor and color.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes (or until the prawns are pink and cooked through, and the feta cheese is melted and slightly browned). If using pre-cooked prawns, reduce baking time to 5-7 minutes.
- Serve immediately with crusty French bread for dipping into the delicious juices.
