rating :

Ingredients :

(for 6 personnes)
- 1, 5 kg prawns
- 10 garlic cloves
- 5 onions
- Zest of 1 combava
- 1 piece of ginger
- 2 sprigs of thyme
- 4 tomatoes
- 2 to 3 green chilies
- Salt, pepper and oil

Method :

Remove the black vein from each prawn. Do not shell them. Wash and drain the prawns.
Heat the oil in a high-sided frying pan and add the prawns. Gently fry for 2 minutes and remove from the pan.
Next, brown the minced onions gently in oil for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the zest of the combava and ginger. Using a pestle and mortar, smash the garlic cloves, zest of the combava, ginger slices, salt and chilies (optional) into a paste. Add the crushed condiments to the onions and simmer for one minute before adding the prawns. Cook for about 4 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, thyme and two glasses of water. Simmer for approximately 10 minutes. The sauce should thicken.
This dish is served with white rice.
