Method
 

Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine large prawns with minced garlic, salt, and preferred seasonings. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Add the marinated prawns in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes each side until pink and opaque.
  3. Lower the heat and add another clove of minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds, then pour in heavy cream and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes if desired.
  5. Return seared prawns to the skillet, coat in sauce, and warm through for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Spoon creamy garlic prawns into warm bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
