Categories     Shellfish     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

300 mL whipping cream
1 ½ teaspoon cornflour
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ bunch chives, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon chicken stock powder
¼ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
1 kg prawns, shelled with tails left on
2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
1 teaspoon cornflour
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine first seven ingredients and set aside, preferably the day before needed. Mix garlic and cornflour with ½ the oil. Heat the remaining oil, toss in the prawns and garlic cornflour mixture and cook until prawns are ¾ cooked. Add cream mixture and cook for 2 minutes or until thick. Serve with some good crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh prawns: Fresh prawns have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen prawns. If you're using frozen prawns, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the prawns: Prawns cook very quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked prawns will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine you use in this recipe will add a lot of flavor to the prawns, so it's important to use a good quality wine. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, is a good choice.
  • Don't be afraid to add more garlic: Garlic is a key ingredient in this recipe, so don't be afraid to add more if you like. You can also use minced garlic instead of chopped garlic, if you prefer.
  • Serve the prawns immediately: Creamy garlic prawns are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to keep them warm for a while, you can place them in a slow cooker set on the "warm" setting.

Conclusion:

Creamy garlic prawns is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The prawns are cooked in a creamy garlic sauce that is rich and flavorful. Serve the prawns with rice, pasta, or vegetables for a complete meal.
