It makes all the difference.
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbookDinner!
Prawns are delicious plain, so simple is best!
Quick to cook just 6 minutes.
A splash of white wine is the secret ingredient that makes these prawns amazing!
What you need for Garlic Prawns
Heres what you need.
Use any white wine you have.
Dry white wine is best but even sweet ones work great.
Rose and Champagne are also terrific!
But actually, it doesnt.
Not with such a short marinating time.
But you do end up with little burnt bits of garlic!
So these days, I add the garlic partway through cooking the prawns so it doesnt burn.
Better result, better garlic flavour!
Sear in batches Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non stick pan over high heat.
Remove the first batch onto a plate then sear the remaining prawns for 45 seconds on each side.
TIP: dont crowd the pan!
Less prawns = better colour = easier to handle = wont overcook.
Garlic Return the first batch of prawns into the pan then add the garlic and toss for 30 seconds.
Servestraight away, freshly cooked!
Oh heres the reason I like to make extra sauce: FOR MOPPING UP WITH BREAD.
All that garlic and the juices from the prawns makes the most outrageously delicious butter.
Some people start fist fights over the prawns.
Ill fight you for the butter!!
(PS Use thiscrusty artisan bread recipe.
Pretty sure its now been officially crowned as the worlds easiest yeast bread recipe!)
Tips for the BEST Garlic Prawns
CHOP the garlic, dont use a garlic press.
But nowadays, there are very good quality frozen prawns.
We want to sear for maximum flavour.
Remember, colour = flavour!
So cook half the prawns then remove, then cook the other half.
Also, cooking less prawns at a time is easier to handle ie turning them one at a time.
To counteract this, we use a combo of butter + oil here.
Oil to sear, then butter for sauce flavour!
Any longer, and the prawns will probably be overcooked……
Be generous with lemon!Seafood loves lemon.
