Cheesy Garlic Butter Prawns




















I love prawns and so do my second daughter and son. It has always been cereal prawns, soy sauce prawns, steamed prawns with egg, steamed prawns on glass noodles, prawns in tamarind juice or black pepper prawns. For a change, I cooked the Cheesy Garlic Butter Prawns for us as we love cheese too besides the prawns.


Ingredients:
  • 8 pieces of large white prawns
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 100 ml milk
  • 3 tbsp grated cheese (any kind)
  • Cooking oil

Method:
  • Wash and de-vein the prawns.
  • Heat up enough cooking oil in a kuali to deep fry the prawns.
  • When the oil is hot, put in the prawns. Fry till the prawns are just cooked. If they are deep fried too long, the meat will be hard.
  • Remove the prawns and set aside.
  • Remove most of the oil from the kuali, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind.
  • Add butter to the kuali and let it melt.
  • Saute the garlic till fragrant but not brown.
  • Add the milk and let it boil slightly.
  • Add cheese and stir till it melts.
  • Turn off the fire.
  • Add the prawns back to the kuali and stir till they are covered with the cheese sauce.
  • Ladle up and serve.
