When I first cooked it, there were no immediate reactions from my family, although my sister said it was really delicious. At that time, my mom was still favoring my brother a lot - that even if my cooking was good, she would act as if it wasn't, and would rave about brother's cooking even though his dishes oftentimes lack in seasoning.
In 2008, I made the dish again (we rarely buy prawns because of its price), and since I haven't posted this dish in this blog, I decided to share it as my post for Yummy Sunday.
Buttered Prawns - Dampa Style
Recipe by: Mayeth Toledo
{Serves 4 - 5}
Ingredients:
- 1/2 kilo tiger prawns
- 1 cup clear soft drinks (7-Up or Sprite)
- 1 tablespoons cooking oil
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons chopped onions
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 small ginger, crushed
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon liquid seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoons chopped spring onions or leeks
- Marinate prawns in soft drinks for 30 minutes. Remove from marinade and reserve marinade.
- In a pan or large skillet, heat oil and one tablespoon of the butter and sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger.
- Stir in prawns. Add one-half of the soft drinks used as marinade, and the ketchup, liquid seasoning, salt, and pepper. When the prawns change color, stir in the cornstarch solution. Simmer until mixture thickens.
- Turn off heat. Blend in remaining two tablespoons butter.
- Sprinkle with spring onions before serving.I really loved this dish. It was just sad that we rarely buy prawns, but the minute we do, I'm going to cook this again.
