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.
- 8
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.
