Gently Persuasive Prawns



What a name! The sparkling flavor of this dish will gently persuade you to have seconds. The sauce calls for a bit of bubbly -- make champagne cocktails with the rest of the bottle (there's a recipe in the links below).


Serving: Serves: 2
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes




1 pound raw prawns or shrimp
4 tablespoons Smart Balance
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup Brut champagne
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Chopped parsley to garnish (optional)





Shell and devein prawns. Melt butter in sauté pan over medium high heat. Add shallots and garlic and saute 1 minute. Add prawns and saute quickly until just pink. Stir in champagne, lemon juice and mustard. Simmer 3 minutes.

Serve over a bed of hot rice or pasta. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

No; we bought really cheap stuff and it didn't appeal to me at all.

I love wine but champagne always gives me a headache.

Tragic about the champagne, Cathy!

Hi,


I made this tonight for dinner too! I added broccoli, which my sons love, and served over some leftover brown rice I had. Super quick. My family really liked it, and my DH and I enjoyed a glass of champagne after the kids went to bed!


Thanks for the recipe!

Patri,


Broccoli sounds like a great addition to this recipe.
