- 1 1/2 pounds tiger prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

Preheat oven on broiler setting. With a sharp knife, remove tails from prawns, and butterfly them from the underside. Arrange prawns on broiler pan.
In a small saucepan, melt butter with garlic and lemon juice. Pour 1/4 cup butter mixture in a small bowl, and brush onto prawns. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over shrimp.
