Chilli, garlic and coriander prawns
Sunita Bhuyan
Quick ( ready in less than 10 minutes) and easy to cook buttery prawns that sing with the flavours of garlic, coriander and the hint of chilli. Great as a starter or as an addition to other ingredients to make a complete meal.
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
Total Time 15 minutes mins
- 280 gms pre cooked and frozen prawns (large), defrosted and drained of excess moisture (just place them in a strainer, but do not pat dry)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp crushed garlic
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 whole fresh chilli, chopped ( I used red ones)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp finely chopped fresh coriander
Heat a pan and add the olive oil.
Add the crushed garlic and stir continuously over low heat to prevent burning. I took approximately 1-1½ minutes.
Add the prawns, stir for a few seconds.
Add the paprika and stir for a few more seconds.
Add the butter and stir for 15-20 seconds.
Add the chopped chillies and stir for 3 minutes.
Add the chopped coriander and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve hot.
- After the prawns are added to the pan, cook for the remaining time between low to medium heat.
- Enjoy them on their own as an appetizer or as an addition to other ingredients to make a complete meal.
- I did not add any extra salt as the prawns were salty enough. If yours aren't, adjust the seasoning.
