Orange Garlic Prawns

Orange Garlic Prawns are flavourful and buttery and with a subtle flavour of oranges. These can be had as snacks or paired with rice. Here is how to make these.

Prawns are a good source of protein. They are also full of calcium, iodine, and zinc. While I often make dishes from chicken, I somehow miss the fact that I am not including sea food in my family’s diet as much as I should.

So, the other day when I read an article on sea food and its benefits, I could not stop myself from planning a recipe on prawns. With oranges loaded up in the refrigerator for making Asian Orange Ginger Salad Dressing, I thought of using some along with prawns.

Hence, the recipe for Orange Garlic Prawns got brainstormed within minutes! Sautéed in butter, parsley, orange juice, orange zest and garlic, Prawns turned to be really scrumptious, I must say!

Orange Garlic Prawns even had this nice flavour of pepper and paprika as I had added a pinch of these spices as well. For the first time, even my kiddo completed his plate when I served it to him.

I and my relished these lip-smacking Orange Garlic Prawns with a plateful of steamed rice. Some left over Prawns were relished by me the second day and I completely loved what I was eating, telling you!

Just then, I thought of sharing the recipe of Orange Garlic Prawns with my Whisk Affair community as well. So, there you go, read its recipe and do tweet your thoughts.
