Low Fat Garlic Prawns Food

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.

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!

PIRI-PIRI PRAWN WRAP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Mix the soured cream with 1 tbsp lemon juice, the mint and seasoning, cover and put in the fridge. Toss the prawns in 2 tsp oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, the garlic, chilli, paprika and seasoning. Cover and put to one side. Wrap the breads in foil and put in the oven to warm.
• Heat a griddle pan on a medium- high heat. Toss the peppers in the remaining 2 tsp oil, season and cook on the griddle for 5-10 mins until charred and softened (you may need to do this in two batches). Transfer the peppers to an ovenproof dish, cover with foil and put in the oven to keep warm. Add the prawns to the griddle pan and cook for 2-3 mins each side until pink, cooked through and lightly charred. Serve with the warm wraps, lettuce, peppers and soured cream.

CHILLI PRAWN LINGUINE

Steps:

• To make the dressing, mix 2 tbsp virtually fat-free fromage frais, the grated zest and juice of 2 limes and 2 tsp golden caster sugar in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Cook 280g linguine pasta according to the packet instructions. Add 200g trimmed sugar snap peas for the last minute or so of cooking time.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a wok or big frying pan, toss in 2 finely chopped large garlic cloves and 1 deseeded and finely chopped large red chilli and cook over a fairly gentle heat for about 30 seconds without letting the garlic brown.
• Tip in 24 peeled raw king prawns and cook over a high heat, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes until they turn pink.
• Add 12 halved cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes until they just start to soften.
• Drain the linguine pasta and sugar snap peas well, then toss into the prawn mixture.
• Tear in a handful of basil leaves, stir, and season with salt and pepper.
• Serve with mixed salad leaves drizzled with the lime dressing, and warm crusty white bread.

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.
