In this episode Chef Kelly Stretton makes garlic-infused prawns on sourdough. Sourdough is the bread of the moment- it's health benefits make it an excellent choice. Seemingly simple, this dish is bursting with flavour.
INGREDIENTS
8 large raw king prawns (prepped)
½ a lemon, juiced
A small bunch of parsley, roughly chopped
Olive oil
1 clove of garlic, crushed
50g butter, cubed
Sourdough (cut with circular cutter)
METHOD
Prep your prawns, de-shell leaving the tails on, de-vein and then butterfly. Place on some kitchen roll and gently pat dry.
Generously oil a large frying pan on a medium/high heat.
Season the prawns with flakey salt, and add to the pan in a clockwise pattern so you know where you started (be sure to space them out).
Cook for 2 minutes on one side, turn over for 30 seconds and then take out of pan and set aside while you do the rest.
When all your prawns are cooked, add a dash more oil to the pan and set aside while you do the rest.
When all your prawns are cooked, add a dash more oil to the pan, let it heat back up, then add the sourdough circles to the hot pan to toast on one side for a minute or so until golden.
As you turn over to the do the same on the other side add the butter cubes and your crushed garlic and cook off for 1 minute.
Take out the toasted sourdough and position in the centre of your plate.
Add the prawns and parsley to the pan and angle the pan so all the butter pools at one edge then spoon it several times over the prawns to heat through and infuse with the parsley.
Take off the heat and add a twist of lemon and place the prawns on top of the sourdough. Then pour all the glorious buttery garlic parsley sauce over the top.
