Saucy Prawns
From Dorothy McNett's recipes at www.dorothymcnett.com. A quick and easy appetizer or main dish, using up some of that wonderful fresh bread that you just baked! This can easily be doubled for larger quantities.
1 pound medium to large prawns, shelled and deveined
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine
zest and juice of 1 lemon or orange
2-3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 teaspoon crumbled oregano
1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon pepper
fresh bread, whole wheat or white or sourdough...
Peel and devein the pawns and set aside. In heavy bottomed saute pan combine oil, wine, zest and juice, garlic, oregano, parsley and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to simmer and add the prawns. Cook and stir several minutes until prawns are just turning pink and are done but do not overcook. Serve immediately with sliced bread to dunk into the sauce. Makes about 8-10 appetizer servings, or 2 main-dish servings.
