Follow these simple steps to prepare your Split & Roast Skull Island King Prawns with Spicy Butter:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. Make the Spicy Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, red chili flakes, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

4. Coat Prawns: Place the split prawns on a baking sheet, flesh side up. Generously spoon the spicy butter mixture over each prawn, ensuring they’re well coated.

5. Add Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the prawns to enhance flavor and help with browning.

6. Roast in the Oven: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until the prawns turn pink and opaque.

7. Broil for Finish: Switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to achieve a caramelized, crispy finish on the prawns.

8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped parsley over the roasted prawns for a fresh touch.

9. Serve: Allow the prawns to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm!
