Garlic Butter Prawns

Ingredients

  • 50g butter
  • Raw Prawns (peeled)
  • Chopped Garlic (3 or 4 cloves)
  • Mixed Herbs (might contain Thyme, Basil, Parsley...)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Rosemary (we wanted to use this but didn't have any at the time, so we used mixed herbs instead)
  • Chopped Onion (1)
  • Starch powder

Pipeline

  1. Marinate: Coat the prawns with starch powder and pepper, then marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Fry: Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then add the chopped onion. Cook for 1 or 2 minute.
  3. Cook the prawns: Add the raw prawns and fry until they turn pink/red. Add the mixed herbs and salt (and rosemary, if available), and stir well. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes in total.

I would definitely try again when I have rosemary.
