I realise that in this heat, the last thing you probably want to do is put the oven on, but this baked prawn recipe is fairly fuss free, so you can pop it in the oven and go grab a cold shower or a frosty beverage. Maybe even an iced tea?

It is simple enough for a mid-week supper, and substantial enough for weekend dinner. I served this with linguine as I find it a bit easier to wrangle into my mouth than spaghetti, but you can serve it with whatever pasta you have in. You can even forego the pasta altogether and serve with some crusty bread to mop up that buttery garlic sauce after you have eaten the baked prawns. 

If you want to spice things up a little, you could add a few dried chilli flakes to the butter instead of the parsley.
