Chilli & Garlic Prawns with fried rice
I often make fried rice, but when I serve it with chilli and garlic prawns they really enhance each other. I once served them with sautéed scallops to a client who could afford to eat anywhere in the world and he wanted to come back for more….I was so pleased, that’s what it’s about.
Ingredients:
- 500gms green prawns – shelled with tail left on
- 2 long red chillies – chopped finely
- 2 cloves garlic – crushed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt & pepper
- 25gms butter
- ½ cup chopped parsley
Method
- In a bowl toss prawns, chillies, garlic, olive oil, salt & pepper.
- Heat a large frypan, when hot add butter until it melts and foams, then and prawn & marinade and cook tossing often for 3 minutes until cooked.
- Remove from pan and put into warmed serving dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley for freshness. The prawns are ready when they change colour.
Fried rice:
- 1 cup Basmati rice – rinsed
- 1 egg – beaten
- 2 green shallots – sliced
- 3 rashers of bacon – chopped and rind removed
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
Method:
- Cook rice in a large pot of boiling salted water until just done, still slightly hard in centre.
- Drain and place on a large plate to cool and dry out for 10 minutes.
- Add a dash of canola oil to a non-stick saucepan and pour in in egg cook on low heat until set. Remove from pan with spatula. Wipe pan out.
- Add another dash of oil and cook bacon until slightly crispy.
- Add shallots and ginger and cook for 2 mins until soft.
- Add rice and stir fry until heated through.
- Add egg and soy sauce and toss through. Make sure you stir often so it doesn’t stick, or become hard.
