Are you a seafood lover who enjoys indulging in delicious prawn dishes? If so, get ready to treat your taste buds to a restaurant-style delight right in the comfort of your own home with this delectable recipe for Creamy Garlic Prawns.

Ingredients:

• 750g raw prawns
• 1 large garlic clove
• 1 cup Massel* Chicken Style Liquid Stock
• 2 tablespoons white wine
• 115g butter
• 1 tablespoon plain flour
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method:

1. Saute the Garlic: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the crushed garlic. Saute the garlic until fragrant, which should take only a minute or two. Be careful not to let it burn.
2. Create the Roux: Remove the saucepan from heat, and add the plain flour. Stir well until the flour combines with the butter and garlic mixture, creating a smooth paste. This will act as the base to thicken our sauce.
3. Creamy Sauce Perfection: Gradually add the Massel Chicken Style Liquid Stock, cream, and white wine to the pan while stirring continuously. The creamy sauce will start coming together beautifully.
4. Thicken the Sauce: Place the saucepan back on the heat, and keep stirring until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle boil. The aroma of garlic and creamy goodness will fill your kitchen!
5. Mustard Magic: Add the mustard powder to the sauce, giving it an extra layer of flavor that complements the prawns perfectly. Season with salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
6. Introduce the Prawns: Now comes the star of the show — the prawns! Add them to the sauce and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the prawns are perfectly cooked and tender.
7. Finishing Touch: Sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley into the pan, giving your Creamy Garlic Prawns a burst of vibrant color and fresh herbal aroma.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Your Creamy Garlic Prawns are now ready to be served! You can pair them with some steamed rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up that luscious sauce.

Cook’s Tips:

• For an even richer sauce, you can substitute half of the chicken stock with seafood stock.
• If you prefer a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the garlic.
• Fresh prawns are always the best choice for this recipe. Look for prawns that have a firm texture and a pleasant ocean smell.
