Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 6-8 carabineros (or large prawns), lightly salted
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 large spoons sobrasada butter (see 1-2-3 Butter 'zine for recipe)
• Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Directions

1. Prepare the Pan: Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil and let it shimmer, ensuring the pan is hot enough to sear the carabineros.
2. Cook the Carabineros: Place the salted carabineros into the pan in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shells turn bright red and the flesh is just cooked through.
3. Add Sobrasada Butter: When the carabineros are almost done, reduce the heat slightly and add 2 large spoons of sobrasada butter to the pan. Allow the butter to melt and coat the prawns, basting.
4. Plate and Garnish: Transfer the carabineros to a hot plate. Add a quenelle of sobrasada butter alongside the prawns for dipping or spreading. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
