This afternoon I went to do some shopping and saw some lovely green prawns, I thought 'I haven't cooked fish for a while (I'm not a fish person but love shell fish) so tonight I think I'll cook some prawns',
then some saw some Basa Freshwater Fish fillets that looked so nice so I bought a couple of those too.
I'm not what you call a confident cook so I basically cook from my heart, adding what I feel might taste nice, not what the recipe say will.
Took shopping home and immediately started to clean the prawns (hard job but so worth it).
For photos and recipe,
I then placed them in a dish and added some freshly grounded LEMON ZEST and the juice of half lemon and the other half I used for decoration purposes.
Then in a separate bowl I added , a good splash of OLIVE OIL, about 2 tablespoons of (The Food Company) crushed onion, garlic and chilli. Then I chopped 3or4 small sprigs thyme and 3 or 4 small stems of Italian Parsley and added it to the mixture.
I poured it on the Prawns and (with freshly washed hands) I mixed it into the prawns.
I have to tell you, they smelt so nice at this stage I just about wanted to eat them raw, I knew I had created something special here! (I hope I don't sound too boastful!)
Then it was off to the HOT frying pan, to which I added a splash of vegetable oil and a BIG dollop of butter.
Cooked the prawns for a couple min each side and Voi-la`!!!
This is the end result.
There was all this beautiful juice left over, 'what do I do with it? Hang on what about the fillets? I know I'll add a splash of white wine and in go the fillets.'
I must say I was so plesantly surprised with the end result that I reckon I could just about sell the recipe to a restaurant. lol
The family and I sure enjoyed eating them!!!
Sorry Min I tried to ring you but there was no answer.
Honest truth!!!
These are the Fish Fillets. As I said I don't like fish but I really enjoyed these because they didn't have a fishy taste.
Buon Appetito!!!
