Garlic & Tomato King Prawns

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Seafood shines brightest when treated simply. The sweet flesh of the prawns, the acidity of the tomatoes, and the aroma of basil form the holy trinity of Mediterranean cuisine. Speed is of the essence here: prawns cook in moments; overcook them, and they turn rubbery.

Instructions

1 ✓

Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil.

Tip: Do not brown the garlic, or it will become bitter.
2 ✓

Add the prawns, fry for 1-2 minutes (just until they turn opaque/white), then remove them.

Tip: If you cook them in the sauce the entire time, they will become tough. We will add them back later.
3 ✓

Pour the wine into the pan and boil off the alcohol.

Tip: The wine deglazes the tasty browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
4 ✓

Add the tomatoes and spices, cook until thickened (approx. 10 minutes).

Tip: You can balance the acidity of the tomatoes with a pinch of sugar if necessary.
5 ✓

Return the prawns to the pan for 1 minute to warm through, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with basil.

Tip: The freshness of the lemon highlights the taste of the sea.

Recipe FAQ

Why are the prawns rubbery?
You overcooked them. As soon as they turn pink and curl up, they are done. Every additional minute ruins the texture.
