Butter and Garlic Shrimps Recipe

Corny Butter n Garlic Prawns

Butter and Garlic Shrimps

Seafood restaurants are a growing business. Filipinos are big fans of seafood and it is a common treat on special occasions and family gatherings. Who could resist boiled crabs, grilled Tuna, oysters or backed scallops? These are only a few of the many sea food delicacies that we enjoy.

I am going to share one of my "special" seafood recipe. This dish has been revised several times until, finally, I got the perfect taste and everything else that comes with it. Here is my version of butter and garlic shrimps, although I used tiger prawns instead of the regular shrimps just for a more tasteful and gastronomic  food experience. The word "corny" comes from one of this dish's prime ingredients which is corn kernel, so don't think about the other stuff because this ain't sentimental at all.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo Tiger Prawns

2 tbsp butter

1/4 cup minced garlic

1 cup corn kernel, drained

2 tbsp lemon zest

salt and pepper

1 pc medium red bell pepper

1 pc small onion, chopped

1/2 cup Royal Tru Orange

Directions:

1. Melt the butter on your pan and saute garlic and onions until half cooked.
2. Add in your prawns, lemon zest, bell pepper together and simmer for about a minute. Once it steams up, pour your the Royal Tru Orange and salt and pepper and cover up your pan until the sauce starts to simmer.
3. Turn off the fire, and serve. Do not overcook your shrimps/prawns.
4. Good for 3-4 servings.
