Plump juicy prawns marinated in garlic then seared in butter, finished with a splash of dry white wine and a squeeze of lemon juice is my go-to way to make prawns. Then there’s this version – Garlic Prawns PLUS a creamy garlicky sauce. It’s the jacked up version, a more indulgent one for those nights when you want/need something to impress, and extra sauce to smother your starchy side of choice so you can lavish every single drop of that sauce!
What you need?
For Prawns
500g / 1lb peeled prawns/shrimp
1 garlic cloves
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
For Garlic Sauce
2 garlic clove
15g / 1 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock/broth
1 cup heavy/thickened cream
1/2 cup parmesan
2 tbsp parsley
How to do?
1.Marinate prawns – just a brief 20 minute marinade for the prawns to infuse them with some garlic flavour. Because prawn flesh is so tender, it doesn’t need anymore than that;
2.Sear prawns – cook these on medium heat, then remove. Cook in batches to make it easier to control the process so you don’t accidentally overcook them. Nobody likes rubbery overcooked prawns!
3.Sauce garlic & deglaze pan – cook some garlic in a little butter in the same pan (this gets really good garlic flavour into the sauce) then add the wine
4.Reduce wine – simmer rapidly on high heat until the wine is reduced down and you no longer smell the harsh “winey” smell;
5.Finish sauce – add the stock and reduce that down too, before adding cream. I do this before the cream because it’s faster to reduce it first by itself before adding the cream. Then once the cream is added, it only takes 2 minutes or so to reduce and thicken
6.Return prawns into sauce to reheat them gently and bring it all together, then it’s ready to be served!
