PRAWNS, SOUTHWESTERN STYLE

 

 

I have always loved barbecue flavors, which is not very present in French cuisine! I cook lots of prawns, just caught in the Ocean, across from my house and I wanted to cook something different! Et voila for my French readers, a little taste of America! Enjoy with an American Chardonnay!

 

 

Preparation: 45 min; cooking time: 30 min.
Serving 4

 

 

2 lbs. fresh prawns, peeled and deveined
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 sweet onion, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
¾ lb. sweet kernel corn
¼ lb. soy beans
5 slices bacon, diced
1 pinch red pepper 
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
Salt and pepper
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

 

 

Boil corn 3 minutes, drain. Boil soy beans 7 minutes or until tender, drain.

 
Boil diced bacon 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Pat dry. Fry the bacon in a small frying pan with ½ tbsp. olive oil 2 minutes on medium heat.

 
Warm 1 tbsp. olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat and cook the onion 3 minutes until pale gold. Add the red bell pepper and cook 5 minutes, stirring.
Add the corn, soy beans and bacon. Combine all the ingredients. Season the preparation with salt, pepper and red pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook 10 minutes.

 
Season the prawns with salt and pepper. Warm 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the prawns 2 minutes on each side. Add the barbecue sauce, stir to combine. Cover and cook 1 minute.
Serve the prawns over the vegetables.

 

 

Bon Appetit!
