Butter Garlic Prawns are a favorite with seafood lovers, mostly because of their strong, arresting aroma. Butter garlic prawns originally are low on spice levels. I came up with this prawns recipe to serve my folks butter garlic prawns that are mildly spiced. The onion and the chillies are processed into a paste so as to not overpower the flavour and fragrance of the butter and the garlic. This easy prawns recipe take about 20 minutes on the clock, and is a wonderful dish to present.
Ingredients:
300 grams prawns, deshelled and deveined
4 tbsp butter
5 garlic pods
1 small red onion

Method:
1. Heat butter in a wok and add the chopped garlic.
2.Grind the onions and red chillies in a food processor.
3. Once the garlic releases an aroma, add in the prawns. Saute till they turn pink.Remove and drain on kitchen towels.
