PRAWN SAUCE

[kloofnek]

We eat a lot of fish,and love just plain white fish,but this can be a bit bland so I am thinking about making a prawn sauce...I mean a quick one...not boiling up the shells etc...to liven it up.
Can anyone tell me if this will work:

Ready cooked shelled prawns,blitz in a blender, add some cream...I would like to a herb...but which would be best.?

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Dill goes well with seafood. I`m not sure I would like the thought of pureed prawns but that`s just my opinion. I would keep them whole in a lemon, dill and butter sauce perhaps. Or you could add some cream and a little paprika to it.

How about this....

my opinion is that the prawns on their own wouldn't have a lot of flavour, especially if they are the preshelled frozen kind. Maybe add a little anchovy fillet and lemon juice?

I like sunblush tomatoes chopped and mixed with some of the oil they came in on basa fillet.

Thank you so much for replies.
Have never blitzed prawns so it is a bit of an experiment
I usually get fresh prawns,but always have shelled cooked ones incase of being in a hurry.
We often have "gambas pil-pil"...,prawns in garlic and olive oil with a bit of red chilli.served warm.We eat a lot of fish and seafood.
Lived in Spain for 19 years and do a lot of Spanish cooking...which I adore.

237SJ..have done them whole in a white lemony sauce...like your suggestion,lemon dill etc.

In fact might try all your ideas,everyone.

Must go now and start cooking!!!!!
