Creamy Garlic Prawns Recipe - Secret of Success
March 17th 2010 05:13
Garlic prawns is a popular restaurant dish which is not hard to make at home. Traditionally, Italian style garlic prawns are served in a garlic sauce of olive oil or garlic butter, but some prefer the French adaptation in a garlic cream sauce. I’ve made this a thousand times, sometimes with the addition of chilli on request. The secret is to remove the prawns while the sauce thickens to avoid overcooking them.
Ingredients
450g (1 lb) Prawn tails
25g (1 oz) Butter
1 or 2 Garlic cloves
30ml (1 fl oz) White wine
10g (½ oz) Chopped parsley
150ml (¼ pint) Cream
Salt and Pepper
Method
Heat the butter in a heavy based pan.
Add the prawns and crushed garlic, and sautée until the prawns are turning pink.
Stir through the parsley and add the white wine.
Add the cream and allow it to simmer.
IMPORTANT-Remove the prawns and set them aside to avoid overcooking them.
Reduce the sauce by allowing it to simmer for 5 minutes or so, until it thickens.
Return the prawns to the pan to reheat them.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if required.
Serve garlic prawns as a stand alone dish on a bed of steamed rice, or combine with chicken, fish or meat as an elaborate topping.
