Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Lay prosciutto on a tray lined with baking paper. Cook 10-15 minutes until crispy. Cool.
Lay prawns out on paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
To make garlic sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add garlic, thyme, lemon zest and chilli and cook for about 10-15 minutes until fragrant (not browned).
Add a splash of oil (I used grape seed) to another frying pan over a high heat. When hot, add prawns and sear for about 30 seconds until golden. Turn over and cook for a few seconds on the other side. Season with salt and pepper then set aside on a platter.
Drizzle with buttery sauce, sprinkle with crushed prosciutto and parsley, and serve with a squeeze of lemon.
