Pepper Butter Prawns
Simple pepper butter prawns which are so delicious that you just can't stop eating them!
Ingredients
- 500 gms prawns shelled and de -veined
- 1 - 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 - 10 curry leaves
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 - 2 tsps pepper Ground pepper (You can adjust the amount depending on your taste)
- 1/2 tsp soya sauce
- 1 tsp vinegar
- pinch turmeric
- to taste salt
Instructions
- Wash the prawns well and boil them in hot water. The way I boil prawns is simple. I boil a lot of water and put the prawns in it and reduce the heat, cover it and cook it for about 6 minutes till they start floating on top and turn white and opaque in color. Mid way, add some salt to it so that it gets absorbed in the prawns.
- Drain from water and keep aside.
- In a wok or pan, heat butter while heating add a couple of drops of oil to it to prevent burning.
- Add the garlic to it and roast for one minute. After one minute add the curry leaves and smell the lovely aroma.
- Add turmeric, pepper to it and mix. Now add the soya and vinegar to it.
- Add the prawns at this stage and sautee for about 2-3 minutes
- Serve hot.
