Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 piece Scotch bonnet pepper (seeded and diced finely)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
- 1 piece Bell pepper (chopped, any color)
- 1 medium Onion (chopped)
- 1 medium Tomato (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (or olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons White wine (optional)
- 2 cups Cooked rice or bread for serving
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in a bowl and marinate them with lime juice, salt, black pepper, and half of the minced garlic. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining minced garlic, diced Scotch bonnet pepper, and thyme, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomato and let it cook for another 2 minutes to release its juices.
Sprinkle the Creole seasoning over the vegetable mixture and mix well.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the marinated prawns to the other side in a single layer. Sauté the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and fully cooked.
If using, pour in the white wine and allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes to deglaze the pan and enhance the flavor.
Mix the prawns with the vegetables and cook everything together for another minute.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish and remove it from the heat.
Serve hot with cooked rice or bread to soak up the flavorful juices.
