Prawns with Garlic Black Bean Coconut Sauce
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott/Not Quite Nigella
Preparation time: 5-10 minutes (mostly to shell the prawns)
Cooking time: 5-6 minutes
- Oil for frying
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed against flat side of knife
- 1/2 onion, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoon black bean and chilli sauce
- 400g prawns, shelled
- 1 cup snow peas, topped and tailed and sliced in half
- 2/3 cup coconut cream
- Coconut rice to serve (recipe here)
Look for this guy lady on the bottle. I don't know who She is but he makes good sauce. ETA: apparently it is a famous and popular brand from China!
Step 1 - I start the rice first as that takes longer than the prawns to cook. Then heat a frypan or wok on high heat and add the garlic and onion. Stir fry for 1 minute and then add the black bean and chilli sauce and fry for 30 seconds.
Step 2 - Add the prawns and stir constantly to evenly cook all over. Cook for 1 minute and then add the snow peas and coconut cream and cook until prawns turn orange (it doesn't take long). Serve with rice.
