Baked Prawn

Today’s dish is on the view of the festive season ahead. This has been made long back but was lost amidst other recipes. I started browsing through my recipes to post something new on Food Mood and More…’s wall and I found 2 prawn dishes yet to be posted. Here, is the first one. A very simple, less time consuming dish- easy to prepare, easy to digest and with a great taste; you do not have to spend too long in the kitchen. So, here comes my first dish of today- Baked Prawn.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

Medium sized Prawns (20 pieces)

Salt as per taste

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 big onion sliced

1 cheese cube grated

½ tsp oregano

olive oil or any other oil [this dish requires very little oil]

Method

Clean, wash and pat dry prawns. In a microwave safe bowl put the prawns marinated with salt, lemon juice and 1 tsp oil. Keep for 10 minutes.

In the mean time heat a wok with 1 tsp oil and shallow fry the onions with a pinch of salt. Remove onion slices from heat when they are soft.

Mix the fried onions with the prawns. Now add the grated cheese.

Preheat the microwave. In convection mode bake the prawns for 5 minutes.

Then bring the bowl out and turn prawns to the reverse side. At this time you can check if the prawns are cooked or how much is left to be cooked. Depending on that you can time your baking. I did it for 2 minutes more. Do not overcook prawns.

 Sprinkle oregano and serve.
