Description

This zesty Prawns New Orleans dish captures the bold flavors of Creole and Italian cuisine with a satisfying twist. Succulent prawns are simmered in a vibrant sauce made from fresh okra, sweet Spanish onions, and colorful red and green peppers, all enriched with chopped tomatoes. Aromatic spices like cayenne, allspice, and garlic provide a warm, spicy kick that balances the sweetness of the vegetables. The result is a tender, flavorful stew with a beautiful mix of textures and colors. It&# 226;€™s a perfect weeknight dinner that feels special enough for guests, best served over fluffy boiled rice to soak up the delicious, spicy sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dice the Spanish onion, red and green peppers (de-seeded), and okra into uniform quarter-inch pieces.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped garlic, diced onion, peppers, and okra to the pan.
  4. Sauté the vegetables for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
  5. Stir in the chopped tomatoes (fresh or tinned) and mix well with the vegetables.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes bright and glossy.
  7. Season the sauce generously with cayenne pepper, allspice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
  8. Add the prawns to the pan.
  9. If using raw prawns, cook for approximately seven minutes until pink and opaque.
  10. If using pre-cooked prawns, heat through for only three minutes to avoid overcooking.
  11. Gently stir to ensure the prawns are evenly coated in the sauce.
  12. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
  13. Serve immediately alongside boiled rice.
