Background

For a special lunch (Anniversaries, Valentine’s day, Mothers' Day etc) or dinner party these Jumbo prawns with Champagne and dill sauce make an excellent starter. The butter sauce can be made ahead so the cooking only takes 5-8 minutes. Serve it with a salad or some blini.

Ingredients

4 jumbo prawns, in the shell with heads on
1 clove of garlic, sliced
1 shallot, chopped
2 Tbsp soft butter or dairy free spread
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 handful of dill, chopped
1 cup of Champagne or Cava
Salt and pepper

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the butter with the garlic and shallot and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the dill and set aside.
Heat a large pan. Add a drop of oil and cook the prawns for a couple of minutes on both sides, until the shell turns pink. Add the butter sauce and the fizzy, turn up the heat. Let it sizzle for a few seconds, then put a lid on and let them steam.
Serve at once with the sauce pored over them.

Tips

If the prawns are super large, halve them lengthwise, leaving them attached about 1 inch below the head. Devein and spread them open, then cook.
