Ingredients

  • 12 - prawns head and shell on (optional) cut along the outside edge of prawns to remove the vein head rinsed out
  • 1/3 cup coconut shredded
  • 1 cup oil

  • 1/4 cup dried curry leaves (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium shallot chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey

How To Make butter prawns

  • Step 1
    You don't have to cook the shrimp in the shell with heads on but it gives the sauce a better flavor. To clean the shrimp, squeeze the heads while running cold water over them. Cut a slit on the outside of the prawns and pull out the poop vein. Rinse well in cold water and set aside. In a dry skillet place the coconut over medium high heat and cook until browned. Immediately remove from heat and set aside.
  • Step 2
    Place the oil in a large skillet and fry the prawns 2 minutes each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Wipe out the pan.
  • Step 3
    Add the butter and melt. Add the garlic, shallot and dried curry leaves and cook 2 minutes. Add the honey and soy sauce. Cook 1 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Add the prawns back to the pan and add the coconut. Stir well and cook 2 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Serve the prawns with sauce spooned over
