Finely chop garlic and keep aside.
Now take a heavy bottomed pan or wok and add butter, and then add the garlic.

Now add the prawns and fry till the color of all the prawns changes to orangish pink.

The excess butter garlic sauce can be used to dip bread while eating the prawns. It goes as a good accompaniment.
