So we were out doing grocery shopping with the little one one day, the husband saw Extra Large Prawns at the Fish section and suddenly craved for Garlic Prawns. But I preferred lamb chops, so we ended up having both for dinner. How to diet in such cases???
I don't know where the husband got his recipe so I'm just putting this together based on memory of what I saw.
Butter Garlic Prawns
Ingredients
Ingredients
4 extra large Tiger Prawns, deviened but keep the shell on
4-5 bulbs of garlic, finely chopped
50g butter
Salt
- Heat pan up. Melt half of the butter in pan. Add in half of the chopped garlic and stir-fry till its fragrant. Make sure its not too browned else it will turn bitter. Dish it out and leave it aside.
- Turn each prawn on its back and, with the point of a sharp knife, make a deep cut down the centre of each prawn, but do not cut through.
- Stuff the butter garlic into the centre of the prawn and it let sit and marinate for about an hour.
- Once it's marinated, heat up the pan again, add the remaining butter. Once the butter has melted, add in the remaining garlic.
- Add in the marinated prawns and fry till the prawns and cooked.
- Serve.
Lamb chops are the easiest for me to make, I just grab
off-the-shelf seasoning and pan-fry it. The only technique is to know
when not to overcook the lamb.

4 pieces of lamb chops
Masterfood Roast Lamb Seasoning
- Season the lamb chops with the roast lamb seasoning. I usually coat the entire lamb chop with the seasoning as its not very salty.
- Marinate lamb chops for about an hour.
- Pan-fry lamb chops till your preferred done-ness.
How to test the done-ness of your meat? I read many websites teaching it using meat temperature, but I don't have the thermometer to test the temperature of my meat. I picked up this tip from a variety show in the past, it's very useful and it works for me every time!
