Garlic Buttered Prawns with Tomato and Coriander

Serves: 6 as an entree or tapas style dish

Ingredients:

  • 80g Western Star Butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 500g green prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 1 small red chilli, finely sliced (optional)
  • 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
  • finely grated rind and juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 cup torn coriander leaves

Method:

Melt butter in a large frypan over medium-high heat until foamy, add garlic, chilli, and prawns cook tossing for 2 minutes until almost cooked through.

Add tomatoes, lime juice and zest and coriander, cook, tossing for 1 minute.

Serve prawns immediately in the pan with fresh bread or tortillas and let guests help themselves.

Hints:

As the prawns will be served in the frypan, use a decorative frypan or stove-proof dish to cook the prawns in. Alternatively transfer the prawns to a warm serving dish.
Ask for pre-peeled and deveined green prawns from your local fish monger or supermarket.
