This is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in under an hour and tastes restaurant quality. Roasted prawns with edamame is packed with lean protein and the edamame adds a wonderful pop of texture while delivering plant based fiber that keeps you satisfied. What I love most is how simple it is to pull together, even on nights when I'm exhausted from work. The butter and garlic create an incredibly flavorful sauce that coats everything beautifully, and the panko breadcrumbs add just the right amount of crunch. Your guests will think you spent hours in the kitchen, but really it's just honest, good food made easy.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the prawns dry with paper towels and season them with half the sea salt and black pepper.
Tip: Drying the prawns ensures they develop a nice golden exterior when roasted.
- 2
Spread edamame pods evenly across a large baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with remaining salt and pepper, then set aside.
- 3
In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and red chili flakes, stirring until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated and slightly toasted.
Tip: Toast the breadcrumbs in a dry pan for 2 minutes first for extra crunch and flavor.
- 4
Arrange the seasoned prawns around the edamame on the baking sheet, leaving space between each prawn for even cooking.
- 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the prawns are pink and opaque throughout, stirring the edamame halfway through cooking.
Tip: Don't overcook the prawns or they'll become tough and rubbery.
- 6
While the prawns roast, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add lemon juice and remove from heat.
- 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately drizzle the garlic lemon butter over the prawns and edamame.
Tip: The hot pan will help distribute the sauce evenly over the ingredients.

Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumb mixture over the prawns and edamame, then garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately while still warm.
Tip: The breadcrumbs add textural contrast and prevent the dish from becoming too buttery.
