Viewed: 35 - Published at: 3 years agoIngredients
- 1 pound raw king prawns, peeled, or a 2-pound package frozen prawns
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped finely
- 14 ounces tomatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of saffron threads (optional)
- Pinch of chili pepper
- Salt
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped coriander
Method
- If using frozen prawns, defrost them thoroughly.
- Pull the legs off the prawns, then peel off the shells and pull off the tails (they are usually sold headless).
- If you see a dark vein along the back, make a fine slit with a pointed knife and pull it out.
- In a large skillet, fry the onion in the oil, stirring, until it begins to color.
- Add the garlic and cook until the aroma rises.
- Then add the tomatoes, ginger, saffron, if using, chili pepper, and some salt and cook for about 20 minutes, until the sauce is reduced.
- Now put in the prawns and cook them for 3 to 5 minutes, until they turn pink, turning them over once.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and coriander at the end.
