Yum Yum! JUST like the Creamy Garlic Prawns recipe I used to enjoy as a kid at one of our local restaurants.. now I can create it at home! I did halve the recipe for 2 of us, but accidently used the full amount of cream.. which made it perfectly saucy. Highly recommended, and a great simple but impressive dinner party meal.

Just FAB!!! Made exactly as stated as was soooo yummy! I love the coriander, fresh is best!!! Have used light and creamy Carnation Evaporated Milk instead of cream, worked well but didn't thicken as much as cream does, if you simmer it a bit, which I like to do. Thanks elle!

What a great and easy recipe! I used parsley instead of cilantro, but followed everything else as written. This came together in a snap and was on the table in no time. I added red pepper flakes at the table to give it a bit of a kick. Thanks for the great recipe!
