Orange Garlic Prawns
on May 27, 2014, Updated Jul 08, 2020
Orange Garlic Prawns are flavourful and buttery and with a subtle flavor 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 seafood in my family’s diet as much as I should.
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 flavor 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.
My family and I relished these lip-smacking Orange Garlic Prawns with a plateful of steamed rice.
Some leftover 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.
