Tuscan Butter Prawns - Prawn Recipes

Ingredients:

➤1 pound (450g) large prawns, peeled and deveined

➤2 tablespoons olive oil

➤2 tablespoons unsalted butter

➤4 cloves garlic, minced

➤1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

➤1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

➤1/2 cup heavy cream

➤1/4 cup chicken or seafood broth

➤1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as basil, oregano, thyme)

➤Salt and pepper to taste

➤Fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnish

➤Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

➤Cooked pasta or crusty bread for serving

Instructions:

1. Cook the Prawns:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set them aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cherry tomatoes begin to soften.

3. Add Cream and Broth:

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or seafood broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

4. Season and Add Herbs:

Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and the dried Italian herbs. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.

5. Combine with Prawns:

Gently add the cooked prawns back into the skillet with the creamy sauce. Allow them to heat through in the sauce for a couple of minutes.

6. Serve:

Serve the Tuscan butter prawns over cooked pasta or with crusty bread. Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

7. Optional Enhancements:

You can add a handful of baby spinach to the sauce for some extra color and nutrition. Additionally, a splash of white wine or lemon juice can add a touch of brightness to the dish.

Enjoy your luxurious and flavorful Tuscan butter prawns, a dish that's perfect for a special dinner or a date night at home!
