Step 1
In a bowl, toss the 1 lb prawns with 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 2
Arrange the prawns in a single layer on a heatproof plate that fits in your steamer.
Step 3
Fill a pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Place the plate in a steamer basket, cover, and reduce heat to medium.
Step 4
Steam until the prawns are pink and opaque, about 5-7 minutes. Check one at the thickest part—it should be firm and cooked through.
Step 5
Carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped parsley if using, and serve hot with crusty bread or rice.
