How to Make Low Fat Garlic Prawns

Spray a large skillet or wok with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
Add 500g (1 lb) peeled and deveined prawns to the hot skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots, and 1/4 cup dry white wine. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the shallots soften and the wine reduces slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornflour (cornstarch) with 1/2 cup of evaporated milk until smooth.
Gradually whisk the cornflour mixture into the skillet with the prawns. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately over a bed of cooked rice or your favorite grain. Garnish with fresh parsley or coriander (optional).
