Low Fat 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!

• Add prawns, wine, and garlic, and stir-fry 4-5 minutes, or until prawns are just cooked through. The tails will be bright pink, and the prawn meat will no longer be translucent.
