Prawns in a Tangy Tomato sauce

Quick and easy prawn dish in a tomato sauce to tantalise your taste buds

July 2, 2024

Quick and easy prawn dish in a tomato sauce to tantalise your taste buds.

Prawns In a Tomato Sauce

The great thing about cooking prawns is that they are easy and quick to cook. Raw prawns take a few minutes to cook, making them the perfect midweek meal when you need something special after a long day but want to save time in preparation. Add to that a fragrant spicy tomato sauce—what could be nicer than prawns in a tomato sauce?

I love prawns and always have a bag in the freezer. They give you so many options for delicious recipes that can be prepared quickly.

This recipe perfectly fits the easy and quick criteria. The tangy tomato sauce works so well with the prawns, and adding Tamarind to the spicy sauce gives it that slightly sour taste that offsets the spice. Tamarind is a much-used ingredient in Asian kitchens. You can buy tamarind paste in most supermarkets and Asian food shops. Once you have it, you will find you will be using it in various dishes.

If you cannot use fresh tomatoes, tinned chopped tomatoes will be fine, but if you can buy please stretch to a premium brand, the extra expense is well worth it in terms of the quality of the sauce.

Prawns in a tomato sauce

I hope you try this recipe, as I’m sure it will become a regular on your menu. If prawns are not your thing, the sauce would work on its own, or try it with mushrooms and chicken.

Please check out more recipes on our website; we specialise in easy-cook dishes that deliver bags of flavour.
