Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g large prawns, peeled and deveined (tails on preferred)
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 120 ml dry white wine
- 4 pieces ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 10 pieces fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
- 100 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 loaf/cup crusty bread or cooked rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel; set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic and red chili flakes (if using), and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat slightly and add the prawns to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are lightly seared. Remove the prawns with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and salt. Simmer the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a thick, rich sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and return the prawns to the skillet. Toss to coat them in the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the prawns are warmed through.
Turn off the heat and stir in the torn basil leaves, crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley (if using) and serve immediately with crusty bread or over cooked rice to soak up the sauce.
