Prawns in a pan

Prawns in a pan

I used my new little metal pan for this dish, and then served it up straight from the hob in it. This is my Prawns in a pan. It really is just so very simple, and it got a big thumbs up from Mary. So that can’t be too bad hey? Its a little spicy, its got the nice garlic kick, but it truly is so simple, but delicious. You are gonna love it.

For a one person Prawns in a pan starter, or snack you’ll need;

• 6 fresh and peeled prawns – run a knife down the back to get rid of the poo tract. This will also then butterfly the prawns when they cook. They’ll look pretty then as they will curl up;
• 1-2 teaspoons of smoky paprika;
• 3 finely sliced garlic cloves;
• 1 knob of butter;
• A pinch of salt & pepper; and
• Some good Olive oil.

In to the pan goes the oil and garlic. Let that sizzle for a while and throw in the prawns and paprika and let that cook down a while. Throw in the salt & pepper and butter. Stir them around to get all the prawns nicely coated. Cook the prawns until plump and pink – do not over cook though. Nothing worse than a tough prawn.

Serve straight from the heat in the pan, maybe with a little bit of crusty bread to soak the sauce.

Hey wait a minute was that really it?

Yep it truly is that simple folks.

That is it. So flipping simple. It looks gorgeous. It tastes amazing. You will be praised as a top end cook. It is my Prawns in a pan – simply ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
