Carnival Garlic Prawns Recipes

CREAMY GARLIC PRAWNS (SHRIMP)

Steps:

• Place prawns, garlic, oil and pepper in a bowl. Toss to coat, set aside 20 minutes if time permits (no longer).
• Stir through salt just prior to cooking.
• Melt 15g / 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add half the prawns and cook for 1 minute on each side, then remove.
• Repeat with remaining prawns (you shouldn't need more butter), then remove. Scrape out excess remaining garlic from pan and add to cooked prawns.
• Add butter into skillet and let it melt. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds or until light golden.
• Add white wine, turn up heat to high. Bring to simmer while stirring base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits into the sauce. Cook 1 minute or until it most evaporates and the winey smell is gone.
• Add chicken stock and reduce until mostly gone and just a thin layer remains on base of skillet.
• Add cream, then simmer on medium heat for 2 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.
• Stir through parmesan, then add the prawns back in. Taste sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
• Serve sprinkled with parsley, over mashed potato or something to soak up that fabulous sauce!

LINGUINE WITH GARLIC BUTTER PRAWNS

Steps:

• Boil the pasta following pack instructions. Meanwhile, very gently cook the garlic in the butter in a medium pan until softened. Add the prawns and cook until they just turn from grey to pink. It is important not to overcook them or they will be tough. Remove from the heat and stir in the zest and seasoning.
• Drain the pasta and toss into the pan with the prawn mixture and parsley until well mixed. Divide between two bowls and serve with the lemon wedges.

GARLIC PRAWNS

Steps:

• Remove prawn heads and peel prawns, leaving tails intact.
• 'Butterfly' prawns by turning them on to their backs and, working from the tail, use a small, sharp knife to slit them almost in half lengthwise.
• Press down lightly with your hand to flatten them slightly.
• Remove and discard the 'vein' located along the length of the cut.
• Place the prawns in a single layer into a buttered baking dish.
• Now, simply combine the melted butter, garlic, lemon rind and juice, 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley and a good pinch or two of black pepper and pour evenly over the prawns in the baking dish.
• At this stage, the dish can be covered with plastic wrap and kept in the fridge until you are ready to cook it.
• To cook, preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).
• Place the baking dish on the highest shelf of the oven.
• Cook prawns for 5-8 minutes, or until pink.
• The prawns will take more like 7-8 minutes to cook if they have been prepared earlier and chilled.
• To serve, sprinkle lightly with salt and with the reserved parsley.
