Coconut Basil Tiger Prawns

This one was so easy and simple. Now you can do this a couple ways. You can throw in a table spoon of butter or coconut oil and brown the shrimp or add it all in together in a large sauté pan till the shrimp is cooked and the sauce has thickened. I threw it all in.

1 decent package of large tiger prawns or shrimp from Costco or where ever, I love the Costco prawns. After I shelled them; I patted them dry so they were not wet.
1 can of lite coconut milk I prefer trader joes brand
A dash of flour helps the milk thicken
2 sprigs of fresh basil and fresh minced garlic
A couple dashes of lemon pepper to taste preference of course, on all the items listed.
I used medium heat and stirred frequently till the sauce was a nice smooth not watery consistency. Preheating your pan is truly the key to not ruining your dishes. Higher heat may cook it faster
but also ruin the consistency or flavor. Who wants burned sauce NOT Me
I think this dish would also be really great with lime and server a variety of ways; over rice veggies or even noodles. I wish the photo would have turned out better my shadow is a little in the way.

This is definitely a less than 30 min start it finish meal. Time will vary if you need to peel the prawns. Or pause to refill the wine glass a few times. Enjoy
