Sometimes we just want a quick dinner; we don't want to compromise on ingredients or flavour but after getting the kids to bed when it is late, sometimes there is not much time to get our dinner ready. This is one of our favourites as I can get it onto the plate in the same time as it takes the rice to cook.
For two people you will need:
- Large prawns (8 per person or more if you are hungry)
- garlic, a medium sized clove
- red chili (as much as you want for your taste)
- butter
- Olive oil
- kaffir lime leaves (optional but they make the dish)
- rice (basmati)
- a noddle of fresh turmeric
- small glass of white wine
Put the rice on (a rice steamer is best). Grate the turmeric onto the top of the rice.
Pour yourself a glass of chilled white or a light red.
Chop the garlic, chili and the kaffir lime leaves. Heat the butter and olive oil in a frying pan. Add the garlic until is has softened and is just starting to colour, add the chili and the kaffir lime leaves. Fry the garlic, chili and kaffir lime leaves until the garlic is just starting to brown but do not let it burn.
Add the white wine and once it is bubbling, add the prawns. At this stage the rice should be cooked. Plate the rice, having stirred it to mix the turmeric coloured rice with the plain rice. Plate the prawns on top of the rice. Serve!
