Number Of Ingredients 13

500g / 1lb peeled prawns/shrimp (, large/jumbo best (Note 1))
1 garlic cloves (, finely minced)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
15g / 1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 garlic clove (, finely minced)
15g / 1 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white wine ((or more chicken stock) (Note 2))
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock/broth (, low sodium)
1 cup heavy/thickened cream
1/2 cup parmesan (, finely grated (grate your own, Note 3))
2 tbsp parsley (, finely chopped)

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!
