Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the prawns dry with paper towels and set aside.
Tip: Drying the prawns helps them develop a better sear and prevents excessive moisture during roasting.
- 2
In a large bowl, toss the halved radishes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet cut-side down.
Tip: Roasting radishes mellows their peppery flavor and brings out natural sweetness.
- 3
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the radishes for 12-15 minutes until they begin to soften and develop light golden edges.
- 4
While radishes roast, heat butter and the remaining olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Tip: Use an oven-safe skillet so you can transfer it directly from stovetop to oven.
- 5
Season the prawns with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the prawns to the skillet in a single layer.
Tip: Don't crowd the pan; if needed, roast the prawns in batches for better browning.
- 6
Sear the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
Tip: Prawns cook quickly, so watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
- 7
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice, fresh thyme, and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Add the roasted radishes to the skillet with the prawns.
- 8
Place the skillet in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes to finish cooking the prawns through and allow flavors to meld.
- 9
Remove from oven and garnish with remaining fresh parsley and lemon zest. Serve immediately while hot.
Tip: The bright citrus and herbs complement the sweet, tender prawns beautifully.
