- 1 pound raw king prawns, peeled, or a 2-pound package frozen prawns
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped finely
- 14 ounces tomatoes, peeled and chopped
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- pinch of saffron threads (optional)
- pinch of chili pepper
- salt
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped coriander
Instructions:
These prawns are deliciously rich in flavor and are good hot or cold.
- In a large skillet, fry the onion in the oil, stirring, until it begins to color. Add the garlic and cook until the aroma rises. Then add the tomatoes, ginger, saffron, if using, chili pepper, and some salt and cook for about 20 minutes, until the sauce is reduced.
- Now put in the prawns and cook them for 3 to 5 minutes, until they turn pink, turning them over once. Stir in the chopped parsley and coriander at the end.
