Method:

Butterfly the deveined prawns and set aside. In a small saucepan, melt 100 g of the butter and add the garlic, chilli flakes and salt. With a basting brush, baste the prawns with this sauce. Heat the olive oil and remaining butter in a frying pan and fry the prawns for 2 minutes until their shells change colour to a rich orange. Sprinkle over the lemon zest and toss the prawns gently. Serve the prawns topped with the rocket, garnished with sliced fresh red chillies and lime or lemon halves. Smother in the pan juices and any of the remaining basting sauce.
