What’s the best way to clean up after cooking with garlic butter?
When you're out camping, you want meals that are quick, easy, and packed with flavour—without a mountain of dishes to clean up.
This one-pan garlic butter prawns recipe is perfect for cooking on the KickAss QuickFire Portable Induction Cooktop, giving you a fast, reliable, and energy-efficient way to whip up a gourmet feed at your campsite.
Step 1: Preheat the Pan
Fire up your KickAss Induction Cooktop and set it to 200°C. Place an induction-compatible pan or skillet on top and add 1 tbsp of olive oil.
Step 2: Sizzle the Garlic
Once the pan is hot, toss in the butter and minced garlic. Sautee for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant—careful not to burn it!
Step 3: Cook the Prawns
Add the prawns, smoked paprika, and chilli flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the prawns turn pink and slightly golden.
Step 4: Finish with Lemon & Herbs
Squeeze over fresh lemon juice, sprinkle in the chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Give everything a final stir.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter sauce or over a bed of rice for a heartier meal.

Absolutely! While the KickAss QuickFire Induction Cooktop makes camp cooking fast and efficient, you can also cook this recipe on a gas stove or even over a campfire with a cast iron pan. Just keep an eye on the heat, as gas and open flames can be harder to control than induction.
Yes, frozen prawns work perfectly—just thaw them completely before cooking. The best way to do this is by placing them in the fridge overnight or running them under cold water for a few minutes. Pat them dry with a paper towel before cooking to avoid excess moisture in the pan.
If you’re off-grid, clean-up is easy. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel to remove excess butter, then wash it with warm soapy water if available. If you’re in a water-restricted campsite, a quick wipe with a damp cloth followed by a rinse with a little hot water will do the trick.
