Recipe

Region/ cuisine: Continental

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp chopped garlic

• 2 chopped chillies

• 1/2 cup chopped coriander

• 2 tbsp butter

• Cheese (for grating, optional)

• Salt (to taste)

• Pepper (to taste)

• Oil (for cooking)

• 5 Tiger prawns, peeled and deveined

  
  

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Prawns:

   • In a bowl, combine 1 tsp chopped garlic, 1 tsp chopped chillies, 1 tsp chopped coriander, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp oil.

   • Add the prawns to the marinade and mix well to ensure they are evenly coated.

   • Let the prawns marinate for about 10 minutes.

2. Cook the Prawns:

   • Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp butter.

   • Add the marinated prawns to the pan and cook until they are 90% done. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.

   • Transfer the prawns to a dish and set aside.

3. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:

   • In the same pan, add 1 tbsp butter and 1 tsp oil. This combination helps prevent the butter from burning.

   • Add the remaining chopped garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

   • Stir in the chopped chilies and coriander, mixing them well.

   • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, and mix thoroughly.

4. Combine and Finish:

   • Return the partially cooked prawns to the pan and toss them with the garlic butter mixture. Cook until the prawns are fully cooked and coated with the sauce.

   • If using cheese, grate it over the prawns and mix until it melts and combines with the sauce.

5. Serve:

   • Transfer the Butter Garlic Prawns to a serving dish.

   • Garnish with extra chopped coriander if desired.

   • Serve immediately and enjoy!
