Between that plate of prawns and you, I would choose you.
Lovely. You can improve this for a starter course by:-
Much tastier.
Add, Spring Onions( even the green parts), to garlic, and the butter with olive oil(one teaspoon)
Use Noilly Pratt Vermouth or use Martini vermouth(instead of white wine),…..just a small tablespoon or two, and cook out to get the alcohol down.
****Forget the parsley as makes it a bit bitter.
It should be soupy( small amount) on serving. 3 minutes for the prawns once added in is correct or prawns will be rubbery if cooked longer.
