Garlic Butter Prawns
This is another dish I prepared for reunion dinner. Having not much experience with prawns before, I was worried that it wouldn’t turn out too good for an occasion as big as reunion dinner.
Pressures aside, this dish is easy to prepare in leisure, especially when you are lazy. All you need are prawns, cleaned and deveined, butter, chopped garlic, light soy sauce, sugar and salt to taste.
What I did was, I arrange the prawns on a baking tray and put them into preheated convection oven for a minute to let the liquid dry off. Then, I took the prawns out and spread butter on them generously. If you are lazy enough, just sprinkle some coarse sea salt onto the prawn along with the butter and return it to the oven to bake, and voila! Buttered prawn!
Since I wanted prawns with gravy, I skipped the salt sprinkle and let the prawns slathered in butter bake until they are cooked. Then I remove the prawns from the oven and arrange nicely on plates.
For the sauce, I heated some oil in a frying pan and fry the chopped garlic until fragrant. The soy sauce (add some water to the soy sauce) goes next, and when it is bubbling, sugar is added. Taste the sauce and adjust according to your taste. If the sauce is too thick, thicken with some flour and pour then over the prawns.
Serve hot.
