Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
- 50 grams parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 100 milliliters white wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set them aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the prawns to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and slightly golden. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set them aside.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low, add the remaining tablespoon of butter, and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine.
Gently add the Gorgonzola cheese and parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until they melt completely and the sauce is smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste, then return the cooked prawns to the skillet.
Simmer the prawns in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are fully coated and heated through.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, pasta, or a side of your choice, and enjoy this rich, flavorful dish.
