Prawns in lemon butter sauce


Hubby is very fond of lemon-butter sauce - it has all his fave ingredients, butter, lemon juice and loads and loads of garlic:) Earlier we had made rawas fish in this sauce, but this Sunday we tried it out with prawns. It was heaven!! (a la Nigella Lawson:)

I will post Ashrut's recipe for this dish:
1. Thoroughly clean and devein all the jumbo prawns
2. Chop a handful of garlic pods and half an onion, and keep aside, and also squeeze some lemon juice and keep aside
3. Next in a wok, he put a generous lump of butter along with some olive oil (so that the butter does not burn). To this he added the finely chopped onions and garlic and sauted for a while till the garlic aroma fills the kithen
4. Then he added 1 tsp of flour/maida and cooked it in the butter - take care not to burn it
5. Finally he added the prawns and tossed them till they turned pink and firm and quickly added a few mls of water to get the lemon-butter sauce
