5 Minute Low Fat Garlic Prawns Food

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!

5-MINUTE LOW-FAT GARLIC PRAWNS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. You can leave them to sit for a while if you want to, or if pressed for time, the flavours still work just as well if you cook it straight away.
• Heat wok (or other good non-stick pan) to medium-high heat.
• 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.
• Remove from wok with a slotted spoon and serve immediately.

GARLIC PRAWNS

Steps:

• Remove prawn heads and peel prawns, leaving tails intact.
• 'Butterfly' prawns by turning them on to their backs and, working from the tail, use a small, sharp knife to slit them almost in half lengthwise.
• Press down lightly with your hand to flatten them slightly.
• Remove and discard the 'vein' located along the length of the cut.
• Place the prawns in a single layer into a buttered baking dish.
• Now, simply combine the melted butter, garlic, lemon rind and juice, 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley and a good pinch or two of black pepper and pour evenly over the prawns in the baking dish.
• At this stage, the dish can be covered with plastic wrap and kept in the fridge until you are ready to cook it.
• To cook, preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).
• Place the baking dish on the highest shelf of the oven.
• Cook prawns for 5-8 minutes, or until pink.
• The prawns will take more like 7-8 minutes to cook if they have been prepared earlier and chilled.
• To serve, sprinkle lightly with salt and with the reserved parsley.
