Sometimes you may want to throw a quick meal that tastes delicious. One day I wanted to go Continental and hence found a very good prawns recipe which is easy to cook also
Ingredients
1. Prawns-500 gms
2.Garlic-5-6 pods
3.White wine-3/4 cup
or
White Wine Vinegar+ Worcestershire Sauce-4 tbsp
4.Mixed herbs(Oregano,basil and thyme)-2 tsp
5. Pepper-1tsp
6.Lemon Juice of 1 lemon
7.Salt to taste
8.Oil-2Tbsp
9.Butter-2tsp
How to Prepare
1.Wash,clean and de vein the prawns. Mix salt ,1/2 tsp pepper and juice of half lemon and marinate for 10-15 minutes
2. In a pan fry the prawns in medium flame and keep aside
3. In a shallow skillet or pan, heat the oil. When the oil is heated add the butter to it
4. Once the butter becomes frothy, add the garlic.
5. Add the prawns once the garlic is fried and becomes brown. Add salt, pepper and the juice of half lemon and mix well
6. Now add the White wine or the White Wine Vinegar+ Worcestershire Sauce mixture while putting the pan over medium flame. The mixture will start to bubble
If you use wine you have to be careful not to overheat the pan . Otherwise it may catch fire.
7. Once the bubble subsides, add the herbs and stir for 2 minutes
Serve with rice,pasta or bread
In step 6 , if you use wine, as an alternative method, you can overheat the pan so that the upper layer catches fire. Once it catches fire, extinguish it with a cover. This is call flambe. But I request not to try this unless you have done flambe before .
