I
bought a few prawns – no fresh ones were available so they were frozen. But they were a good size. My philosophy with things like prawns is to
do them pretty simply and let them speak for themselves.
I
prepared some garlic, ginger and fresh turmeric by microplaning it. Be careful if you are using fresh turmeric
because it will stain anything it comes into contact with. I used disposable gloves. In addition, I chopped ½ a red onion and the
white part of a spring onion (scallion).
I
fried that off and then added the prawns and right at the end (1 minute only)
the green leaves of bok choy. (I didn't
use the stalk parts this time – if you do, you should slice them and cook them
for a bit longer).
Finally
I served it with rice on the side and garnished it with a finely sliced red
chilli, the green tops of the spring onion and some lovely feathery dill.
Looks delicious. I love shrimp (prawns) and since we are not close to the ocean, always buy them frozen but raw. I prefer them done simply, like you. Usually just sauteed with a little garlic and sometimes I sprinkle them with five spice prior to cooking. They go best with rice, or sometimes tossed into a pasta!
ReplyDeleteWe eat a lot of shrimp and I'm always looking for new ways to cook them. I think ginger goes so well with shrimp. Great colors in your dish, Carole! Thank you for linking this week.
