Cajun Bbq Prawns - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 tablespoons chopped garlic
    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 tablespoons seasoning, mix (recipe follows)
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    2 tablespoons honey
    2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce (use San-J Wheat-Free Tamari to make this gluten-free and wheat-free)
    2 tablespoons chopped parsley
    1 1/4 lbs peeled and deveined 21-25 count prawns
    3/4 cup unsalted butter
    Seasoning Mix
    1/4 cup cayenne
    1/4 cup ground black pepper
    2 tablespoons salt
    2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
    2 tablespoons dried whole thyme
    2 tablespoons dried rosemary leaves
    1 teaspoon dry oregano
Preparation
    Mix all the seasoning mix ingredients in a food processor and set aside.
    Stored in a sealed container, it will keep indefinitely for future use.
    Blend the garlic, olive oil, 2 T seasoning mix, lemon juice, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl.
    Add the prawns and the chopped parsley to the mixture and toss well to coat.
    Refrigerate overnight.
    Preheat oven to 500\u00b0F.
    Place prawns with the marinade in a large, heavy skillet (large enough to fit prawns in a single layer or cook in batches) and place in oven.
    In about 2 to 3 minutes, shake the pan to ensure even cooking and repeat in another 2 to 3 minutes.
    At this point the mixture should be bubbling and the prawns will be turning opaque.
    Transfer the pan to a stovetop, over medium heat and begin adding the butter in 1 to 2 T increments, shaking the pan the entire time, allowing the butter to emulsify into the mixture before adding any more butter.
    This process should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
    When completed, pour onto a platter and serve immediately with plenty of good, crispy bread.
