In such times when I lift the newspaper anticipating one bad news or other, today’s paper was a pleasant surprise in the front page. It said that “ Life in the heart of Chennai came to a halt on Monday to save a life. In a textbook example of precise coordination between surgeons of two hospitals and the city traffic police, a medical team transported a heart from Government General Hospital to Fortis Malar Hospitals in Adyar, about 12km away, in less than 13 minutes by creating a "green corridor" - that is, red-light free access.” These types of well-coordinated gestures reaffirm our faith in humanity. Proud to be a part of this City.
I believe that whatever we do ,if we give our best shot then we could create smiles in our entire life span. This dish called buttery garlic prawn is what I tried few months back after my Goa trip and my family had smiles written all over their faces. The recipe below is super easy and quick to make. The addition of parsley here surely brings out the best flavours in small prawns. Here’s the recipe for that.
Ingredients:
400 gms small Prawns {peeled and deveined}
1/4 cup chopped fresh Parsley
8-10 minced Garlic
3-4 tbsp Butter
1/4 cup Cream {I generally like it very soupy hence less cream but you can add 1/2 cup of cream for more thickness}
2 Whole Dry red chillies
1 tbsp Lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground Black pepper powder
Method:
In a pan heat butter over medium heat. Once melted add minced garlic, toss again and saute is for few seconds. Making sure they do not burn ! Add prawns and cook until pink and the flesh is opaque in the center, about 2 minutes. Add cooking cream and stir well. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt. Simmer the sauce until it has thickened to your desired consistency. Turn off the heat and pour into a serving dish. Add lemon juice and sprinkle some parsley. Serve this quick and easy garlic butter prawns with any bread.
