Baked Butter Prawn

0 comments


This is a really simple recipe that Diana had shared with me a while ago.  So simple that it doesn't require a lot of effort, time and ingredients to put the dish together, but the end result is mouth-watering enough to pass-off as something that the cook had slaved over the stove-top (oven rather).  The disappointing part was that the prawns I got last week wasn't fresh enough to do more justice to the taste.

Oh yes... this dish reminded me of another recipe from my mum which also had tons of garlic (enough to make you smell the after-breath from miles away) and a sinful amount of butter to it.  The difference is that the butter is made into sauce.


Ingredients:

  • 800 gm of prawns (whiskers trimmed off) 
  • Generous knob of butter (I used about 80 gm) 
  • 8 cloves of garlic (minced) 


Preparation:

  • Mixed all ingredients together and allow to stand for 30 minutes. (I had cut the butter into morsels and left them on top of the prawns next to a pot of boiling water to hasten the melting process!). 
  • Bake prawns for 8 to 10 minutes at 180 degree Celsius.
