Prawns With Cilantro-Ginger-Lime Butter Recipe - Cooking Index
1 cup | 198g / 7oz | Butter - softened |
1 | Chopped fresh cilantro - stems removed | |
2 teaspoons | 10ml | Minced fresh ginger |
2 teaspoons | 10ml | Minced garlic |
4 | Limes - divided | |
2 | Red bell peppers - julienne | |
36 | Black tiger prawns - peeled | |
Deveined | ||
1/2 cup | 118ml | Dry white wine - optional |
Salt and pepper - to taste | ||
3 cups | 711ml | Fresh spinach - julienne |
In the bowl of a food processor, combine butter, cilantro, ginger and garlic. Process until smooth. Add the juice of 3 limes and mix well.
Saute bell peppers and prawns in the cilantro-butter mixture over medium heat. The wine may be added at this point. (It helps keep the butter from scorching and makes a smoother sauce.) Cook until prawns are pink and just barely done. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve on 1/2 cup of julienne spinach for each serving, drizzling the butter over the top to wilt the spinach. Garnish with lime wedges.
