Can shrimp/ Prawns cause allergy?

They are to some people but not to all. You know it right that if you or a guest/ family is allergic to prawns you just don't need to serve it.

How can I get the perfect texture while making butter garlic prawns?

You mean you don't like chewy and rubbery prawns or shrimps. Neither do I. So the thing is skip overcooking and that will do the trick.

What type of prawn or shrimp is ideal for this recipe?

Medium-sized cleaned and deveined prawn or shrimp is ideal. I prefer using the prawns with the tail and skin on. This way I get some extra cooking time and also we like the crunch. If you are using fully dressed prawns lower the cooking time.

Any suggestion for Alcohol?

Apart from White Wine? Why not? I don't mind a nice glass of gin and tonic or a good cocktail with the butter garlic shrimp.

Instructions

I prefer to use medium-sized prawns with the skin and tail on for this recipe. Check notes for further detail.
Clean the prawns if they are not already.
Now marinade the prawns with salt, black pepper, and also lemon juice for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make a mince of the garlic cloves.
Finely chop parsley as well.
Now heat 2/3 of the butter in a skillet.
Add chopped garlic and fry those for a minute.
Now add the marinated prawns and fry for 2 minutes.
While adding the prawns do not add the liquid. Keep it for later use.
Once fried, add chopped parsley, chili flakes, and rock salt and give a light mix and fry for a minute.
Now add the liquid and on high heat fry for a minute.
Lastly, add the remaining butter and mix it properly.
Switch the flame off and serve the butter garlic Prawn after sprinkling some fresh parsley if you have those.

Notes

Keep the cooking time 5-6 minutes in total after adding the prawns. Do not overcook prawns if you wish to eat buttery soft prawns.
I prefer using prawns with the tail on (but deveined). This way I get some extra cooking time.
In case you are using completely dressed prawns, cook till it changes color to light pink.
For a low-calorie version, use olive oil instead of butter. Just don't call it butter garlic prawns then!
You can use olive oil and butter in 1:1 proportion. I do that once in a while.
I use salted butter for this recipe. If you plan to use unsalted butter, adjust the salt accordingly.
Rock salt is completely optional and can be replaced with normal salt. I however, like the twist.
