Red Chilli Prawns

Some like it hot, and I happen to be one of them. Its the the simple food that sometimes contain the most flavours as the few ingredients compliment each other so well and are able to shine in their own. Hot and simple, perfect date food. The main flavour is the thai red chilli, these chillies are hotter then birds eye chilli but are a little sweeter too. When bitten into you will find your senses awaken. These fiery chillies have a mood boosting quality that somehow makes you feel alive, hence this is perfect starter that will let the mood for highly pleasurable meal exprience.

Ingredients:

2 thai red chillies, chopped finely
20 grams of butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cm cube of ginger, minced
14 large raw prawns, shelled and deveined

Method:

In a swallow pan start by heating the oil on medium heat and then add garlic and ginger and cook until the garlic is slightly golden. Now add the prawns, chilli cook and butter and cook until the prawns turn pink and opaque, this should take between three to four minutes.


I recommend 7 prawns per person, so if you have more people to serve adjust the recipe accordingly. Serve with some white crusty bread that has been toasted so that it soaks up the butter olive oil sauce, I have decorated the dish with some watercress but you can choose any herb you want.

I hope you also like it hot,
