Method

  1. Sauté prawns in a non-stick frypan that has been coated with cooking spray for 3 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, shallots and wine to pan and cook 4-5 minutes.
  3. Combine cornflour with milks (remember to use a 15ml tablespoon when measuring cornflour), add to pan, stirring constantly until sauce boils and thickens. Pepper to taste. Once boiled take off heat as evaporated milk can separate when over boiled.

Suitable to be frozen for 2-3 weeks.
