Cyndi: prawns!!

The boyfriend brought home a ton of prawns last night.
One of his clients has been gave him a lovely yummy bottle of pinot gris firestone wine a few weeks ago & now he has given him frozen shrimp.

I am not a huge fan of shrimp. Sometimes it can be too fishy. So i first divided the shrimp into about 7 almost 2lb zip lock bags. I gave one to our amazing neighbor. 1 bag will go to My boyfriends brother. 1 bag is go to my boyfriends father. And we kept 4. I froze three of them & made 6 large prawns for dinner last night.

The recipe i used came out soo delicious. I was soo proud that i couldn't help but share!

You will need:

-6 large prawns
-5 - 6 cloves of garlic
-3 tablespoons of butter
-a small lemon
-about a tablesppon of parsly
-salt
-pepper

These prawns still had their shells on them. So we cut the shells off, then 'de pooped' them [yes the black stuff towards the south end of the ship is actually their poop] then, because we are on this 'diet-ish' kick. We did not want to make a big portion, but to feed both of us, I cut the 6 shrimp in half length wise.
[the bottle of wine in the background, is optional - tho i love to have a glass of wine as i cook : )]

then in a non stick pan...melt the butter [to keep this completely fat free, you could substitute the butter for extra virgin olive oil]
while the butter is melting squeeze one half of the lemon onto the shimp sitting in the bowl

when the butter is melted, toss the shrimp in
let it cook for about two minutes
then add the garlic -- we used a garlic press

also add some flavor with a pinch of salt
and a pinch of pepper

let it cook for 6 to 7 minutes
then squeeze the other half of the lemon onto it [i added both halves because i really did NOT want it to taste fishy at all.]
