How to Make Broiled Lemon And Garlic Tiger Prawns

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the tails from the prawns. Butterfly them by making a shallow cut along the back of each prawn, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Arrange the butterflied prawns in a single layer on a broiler pan.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and lemon juice. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  5. Pour 1/4 of the garlic-lemon butter mixture into a small bowl. Brush this mixture evenly over the prawns.
  6. Sprinkle the prawns generously with Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  7. Place the broiler pan on the top rack of your preheated oven. Broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the prawns are pink and opaque, and the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with the remaining garlic-lemon butter mixture for dipping.
