Ingredients for 5 Minute Low Fat Garlic Prawns

  • 250g (1 cup) raw peeled and deveined prawns
  • Dry White Wine
  • Garlic Cloves

How to Make 5 Minute Low Fat Garlic Prawns

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Gently toss to coat the prawns.
  2. Optionally, let the prawns marinate for 10-15 minutes for enhanced flavor (or proceed directly to step 3).
  3. Heat a non-stick wok or pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Add prawns, wine, and garlic to the hot pan. Stir-fry continuously for 4-5 minutes, or until prawns turn bright pink and are opaque throughout.
  5. Remove prawns from the pan using a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
