Preparation

Step 1 Prepare prawns
Melt butter with garlic in a small pan over medium-low heat, just until garlic begins to brown. Remove from heat.
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Pat prawns dry with a paper towel. Add prawns and cook, shaking pan back and forth to prevent sticking, until prawns begin to turn opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and basil, then the garlic butter; turn off heat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve with cooked pasta or grilled bread.
