Prawns With Cilantro-Ginger-Lime Butter

Type: Shellfish
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup 198g / 7ozButter - softened
1   Chopped fresh cilantro - stems removed
2 teaspoons 10mlMinced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons 10mlMinced garlic
4   Limes - divided
2   Red bell peppers - julienne
36   Black tiger prawns - peeled
  Deveined
1/2 cup 118mlDry white wine - optional
  Salt and pepper - to taste
3 cups 711mlFresh spinach - julienne

Recipe Instructions

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.
