Ingredients | Measure |
Raw king prawns | 500g |
Olive oil | 3 tablespoons |
Chopped onion | 1 |
Freshly chopped parsley | pinch |

Instruction
- Place the prawns in a pot and add enough water to cover
- Boil for 5 minutes
- Drain, reserving the liquid, and set aside
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan
- Add the onion; cook and stir until soft
- Mix in the parsley, wine, tomatoes, garlic and remaining olive oil
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened
-
While the sauce is simmering, the prawns should become cool enough to handle
- First remove the legs by pinching them, and then pull off the shells, leaving the head and tail on
-
When the sauce has thickened, stir in the prawns
- Bring to a simmer again if the sauce has cooled with the prawns, and cook for about 5 minutes
- Add the feta and remove from the heat
- Let stand until the cheese starts to melt
- Serve warm with slices of crusty bread
-
Though completely untraditional, you can add a few tablespoons of stock or passata to this recipe to make a delicious pasta sauce
- Toss with pasta after adding the feta, and serve
