The best part of Summer is the ready supply of Seafood.
Living in a seafood town we have plenty of choice from the school prawns to the locally caught flat head and beautiful oysters.
Here is a simple prawn dish full of flavour and incorporating the Christmas colours of red and green which is sure to impress your guests.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christmas Prawns
1/4 cup olive oil
500 g fresh green prawns, shelled with tail intact
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 red chilli, chopped
handful of continental parsley, chopped
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup white wine
salt and pepper to taste
Heat up a frypan or wok to medium high, add oil, garlic and chilli, fry for 1 minute or until garlic just starts to turn brown.
Add the prawns and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
Add lemon juice, wine and parsley then keep stirring for 2 more minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
