Creamy Prawns with Passion Fruit Sauce
Tender prawns in a creamy passion fruit sauce with garlic, onion and a glossy butter finish — a quick sweet-and-savoury dish for four.
Sweet, tangy passion fruit brings a bright contrast to this creamy prawn dish. With garlic, onion and a little butter to finish the sauce, it turns a short list of ingredients into a colourful main course.
Ready in around 25 minutes, this is a practical recipe for a midweek dinner or a relaxed meal with friends. A wide frying pan gives the prawns room to cook evenly, while Tramontina dinnerware provides an easy way to bring the finished dish to the table.
Use raw peeled prawns and cook them until pink, opaque and thoroughly cooked before serving.
