minutesIngredients
500gms uncooked, peeled prawns
4 cloves garlic, chopped finely
2 Tbsp butter
Handful basil, chopped finely
- For the Spanish Rice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 capsicum, chopped finely
1 onion, chopped finely
1 celery stalk, chopped finely
1 bay leaf
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp turmeric
1 cup basmati rice
2 cups chicken stock/ broth
1/2 tsp salt
Small handful chopped fresh coriander
Small handful chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Rice- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, capsicum celery, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add bay leaf, cumin seeds, turmeric, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add rice, stir to coat, then add stock/ broth and salt. Bring to a boil, stir once, and cover. Reduce heat to low and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15–18 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork; stir in coriander and parsley.
- Prawns– Heat butter in medium saucepan. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add prawns and stir until cooked to your liking. Add basil and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve rice and prawns with half a plate of seasonal vegetables. I stir-fried these vegetables with garlic, ginger, chilli and some soy sauce until nice and crunchy.
