Garlic-butter prawns with coconut rice
American 20 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- Combine the rice, coconut milk and 1/2tsp of salt for the coconut rice in a medium-sized pot over a medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer for approx. 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, keep the lid on, and steam for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice using a fork and keep it warm.
- To butterfly the prawns, cut down the back all the way to the tail halfway through, making sure not to cut through the head. Flatten and pat the prawns dry.
- Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt then sprinkle over the prawns. Toss to coat.
- Remove the skin from the garlic and crush all the cloves.
- In a large pan, melt the butter and add in the crushed garlic. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Place the oil in the pan and sauté the prawns, turning after 2 minutes or until each side is golden and crispy. Add the garlic butter back to the pan and toss to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
- Serve with the rice, lemon and chopped parsley.
