Ingredients
  

Garlic marinated prawns

  • 500 g peeled prawns/shrimp large/jumbo best
  • 1 garlic clove finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Cooking prawns

  • 15 g unsalted butter

Creamy garlic sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 15 g unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup dry white wine or more chicken stock
  • ½ cup chicken or vegetable stock/broth low sodium
  • 1 cup heavy/thickened cream
  • ½ cup parmesan finely grated
  • 2 tablespoon parsley finely chopped

Instructions
 

Marinate Prawns

  • Place prawns, garlic, oil and pepper in a bowl. Toss to coat, set aside 20 minutes.
  • Stir through salt just prior to cooking.

Cook prawns

  • Melt 15g / 1 tablespoon 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, then remove. Scrape out excess garlic from pan and add to cooked prawns.

Creamy Sauce

  • 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 to dissolve golden bits into the sauce. Cook until the wine smell is gone.
  • Add chicken stock and reduce until mostly gone.
  • Add cream, then simmer on medium heat for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Stir through parmesan, then add the prawns back in. Taste sauce and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve sprinkled with parsley, over mashed potato or something to soak up the sauce.

Notes

Cooked prawns can be kept up to 3 days. Reheat gently on low heat.
