Tomato-based Garlic Prawns

Tomato-based Garlic Prawns

 

 

So I have done a cream-based garlic prawns recipe, so i thought I'd try a tomato based one for something a little different (and perhaps a little healthier!). I have served it with rice, but it would be nice as a lighter meal or a starter with some crusty bread if you're having a dinner party or something.

 

Time Taken?: About 20-25 mins. Super quick!

 

2 year old friendly?: My little one doesn't like prawns (i think the texture throws him) but he did eat the rice mixed in with a bit of the sauce. Pretty much the same as having some pasta with tomato sauce except it's rice!

 

Serves 4

 

INGREDIENTS

Olive oil

1.5 spanish onions, roughly diced

6 garlic cloves, crushed

2 400g tins of crushed tomatoes

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 kg raw green prawns (you can get whole ones and peel them but who wants to bother? I got already peeled frozen green prawns and defrosted them overnight in the fridge. Aldi have a really good brand that are afforable but good quality.)

Freshly ground pepper, to taste.

A handful of fresh parsely, coarsely choppped

Rice or crusty bread to serve

 

METHOD

Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Cook onion and garlic until soft

Add tinned tomatoes and wine. Simmer for 10 mins

Add peeled prawns to the sauce and simmer gently for 5-10 mins or until prawns turn opaque and orange.

Season with pepper and stir through the parsely.

Serve with rice or bread.
