Another from the mother in law. I don't leave tails intact, personal preference. Preparation time includes peeling prawns. Spring onions also known as scallions or green onions. UPDATE - thank you to Karen Elizabeth would never have thought to use this as way to cook the prawns to ADD to other dishes such as she did with a vegetable stir fry - great idea, thank you. A PLEASE NOTE - I now have a 900W microwave and I find 3 1/2 to 4 minutes does it, When this recipe was first presented wattages in ovens where very low so the higher wattages today will determine the cooking times. Ingredients:
500 g prawns (raw) |
1/3 cup peanut oil |
2 garlic cloves (crushed or minced or 2 teaspoon from jar) |
2 tablespoons spring onions (white part finely chopped) |
2 tablespoons dry sherry |
1 dash tabasco sauce (or 1 dash chili powder or 1 small chilli pepper, finely sliced, deseed or not) |
salt and pepper (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Peel and devein prawns, leaving tails intact.
2. Put prawns into a microwave proof dish or divide prawns into 4 microproof ramekins.
3. Combine all other ingredients and pour over prawns or divide between the 4 ramekins.
4. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Serve with crusty bread.
