Creamy Garlic Prawns

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife April 29, 2020October 29, 2020
April 29, 2020October 29, 2020

A delicious – and relatively quick – fresh and flavour packed creamy garlic prawns recipe, that can be whipped up with just one saucepan!

A few years ago on Mother’s Day, I had a craving for some really creamy garlic prawns, so hubby and my youngest daughter spoilt me by cooking some for dinner.

Super Easy Creamy Garlic Prawn recipe

It was so delicious, and I literally had to laugh out loud when hubby found a recipe that only required one large clove of garlic, yet he wanted it to be full of flavour so he used a whole bulb! I had to wait to see if it was the right choice… and he didn’t go wrong, it tasted perfect!

How to make creamy garlic prawns with rice

Once the prawns are peeled, this dish comes together so quickly.

Note: I have made this recipe several times since my hubby and daughter made it. It is sooooo good, and is one of my favourite dinners with crusty bread on the side. I don’t have the patience nor desire to peel prawns though, so I buy them frozen (usually when I see them on special). Frozen prawns will require a little longer in the pan to thaw and cook through, and you will find the sauce won’t be as thick when using frozen prawns.

Creamy Garlic Prawns

Serves: 5

Prep Time

Cook Time

Total Time

30 mins

10 mins

40 mins

Ingredients
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup thickened cream
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 115g butter
  • 1 bulb garlic (12 cloves), peeled and crushed
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1kg uncooked prawns, peeled and tailed removed
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to season
  • White rice, to serve

Instructions

  1. Cook rice following packet directions.
  2. Meanwhile, in a jug add stock, cream and wine. Mix. Set aside.
  3. Melt butter and garlic in large saucepan over medium-high heat until foaming.
  4. Add flour, cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until mixture bubbles and begins to come away from the side of the pan. Remove from heat.
  5. Gradually pour in cream mixture. Whisk continuously until mixture is smooth.
  6. Return to heat, stir until sauce boils and thickens.
  7. Sprinkle in mustard and season with salt and pepper, mix.
  8. Reduce heat to low. Add prawns, toss to coat.
  9. Simmer and stir for 3-5 minutes or until prawns have cooked through.
  10. Sprinkle parsley into sauce, stir through.
  11. Serve over steamed rice.

Oh Katrina I have just made this just for me on Fsther’s Day as hubby is working. I’m feeling a bit guilty eating it on my own!!!

This was my first time cooking prawns, and this recipe was just perfect. So easy and incredibly delicious. Kudos to Mr. Organised. What veggies do you usually serve with them, though? I did steamed cucumber (as I usually do with seafood) but I’d like something different next time.

I’ve been using this recipe for a year or two now, and it’s definitely a fail proof, better than the restaurants’ creamy garlic prawns… I’m often disappointed when eating similar Dishes out, because this dish sets such high standards! Brilliant, simply marvellous!

Sing September 1, 2014 - 10:56 PM

Hi there,

Do you use all purpose flour or cornflour and do you use thickened cream or double cream

Thank you:)

Reply
Katrina September 3, 2014 - 11:44 AM

Hi Sing, i use all purpose flour and with the cream i just use thickened cream.

Reply
Sing September 4, 2014 - 1:22 PM

Hi Katrina,

Sorry again but did you use salted or unsalted butter for this recipe? I can’t wait to try out this recipe:)

Thank you.

Cheers
Sing

Reply
Katrina September 5, 2014 - 12:51 PM

Hi Sing, I used salted butter. Think it just gives it a little more flavour.

Hello! Do you have any recommendations on what I can replace the White Wine with? Thanks!

Hi Huda, hmmm you could try adding a little stock in replace. I have honestly only ever used the wine.

This is just like the recipe I use, I made it up after having garlic prawns many years???? ago at a restaurant. I just jiggled the ingredients and taste tested to get it right. You can also use this recipe, maybe make it a little thicker adding some fish and calamari inside a crepe. Seafood crepe..yum

MC March 5, 2015 - 7:12 PM

Kat, my daughter is severely allergic to mustard. Any idea on substitutes or if you think it could be left out? It looks like an amazing dish.

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife March 6, 2015 - 8:32 AM

Hi Megan, I would probably suggest leaving it out. As it is only 1/2 a teaspoon there shouldn’t be a lot of difference in taste.

Good to see someone close to my home. I’m just over the border on Kyogle NSW. Am going to make your Creamy Garlic Prawns for myself tonight (hubby can’t eat shellfish). I am going to add a bit of Chilli to mine, not much, just enough to taste with blowing my head off.

Hi, Katrina. I have never tried this creamy garlic prawns before. I appreciate that you have shared such a mesmerizing recipe with us today. I will surely try making this delicious prawn recipe at home. I agree with your point that it is easier to make this recipe with frozen prawns rather than fresh prawns. Thank you.

Garlic prawns. Recipe was just beautiful. I made enough for 2 people and had to show some constraint in not eating the 2nd portion. I made it with fettuccini which I love. A very decadent version of the recipe. The touch of mustard and wine add so much flavour to the recipe. Will just have to make it over and over again, just to make sure I have got it down pat. ? oh and the glass of white wine I had with it just added to my experience. Yumbo to everything. Thanks! ?

Hi Katrina could I halve the sauce? Would it work (because sometimes halving ingredients doesn’t work) I’m only cooking for two and do not want leftover thank you Sam

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife January 8, 2021 - 3:48 PM

I think it would be fine for this recipe, as long as you also reduce the amount of prawns too. Let me know how you go!
