Steps:
- Place prawns, garlic, oil and pepper in a bowl. Toss to coat, set aside 20 minutes if time permits (no longer).
- Stir through salt just prior to cooking.
- Melt 15g / 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add half the prawns and cook for 1 minute on each side, then remove.
- Repeat with remaining prawns (you shouldn't need more butter), then remove. Scrape out excess remaining garlic from pan and add to cooked prawns.
- Add butter into skillet and let it melt. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds or until light golden.
- Add white wine, turn up heat to high. Bring to simmer while stirring base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits into the sauce. Cook 1 minute or until it most evaporates and the winey smell is gone.
- Add chicken stock and reduce until mostly gone and just a thin layer remains on base of skillet.
- Add cream, then simmer on medium heat for 2 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.
- Stir through parmesan, then add the prawns back in. Taste sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
- Serve sprinkled with parsley, over mashed potato or something to soak up that fabulous sauce!

Steps:
- Heat cream in skillet until just about to boil. Add zest and juice of one lemon. It will immediately start to thicken.
- Turn heat down to low. Add garlic powder and salt. Stir for 1 minute.
- Add cheese and stir until melted.
- Serve over your favorite pasta. We like angel hair cause it's done at about the same time your sauce gets finished.
- I often add cooked shrimp or meatballs (the Italian baked ones from this site are excellent). But bacon or sausage is also good.

Tips:
- To save time, use frozen prawns that have been thawed. If using fresh prawns, make sure to devein and clean them thoroughly before cooking.
- For a more intense flavor, use jumbo prawns.
- Be careful not to overcook the prawns, as they will become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink.
- If you don't have Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, you can use another hard cheese, such as Parmesan or Asiago.
- Serve the prawns with a side of rice or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
