How to make garlic and lemon zest prawns

3. Heat 2 tsp olive oil and 2 cloves garlic and the parsley stems in a pan for 2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant.
4. Add the marinated prawns.
5. Stir and sauté on a low to medium flame for 4 to 5 minutes or until prawns are fully cooked.
6. Remove from the flame and add parsley leaves and grated cheese. Squeeze some lemon juice to the dish and serve.
