5 Stars, this was delish (oh, was there vodka in that "dissh"?), DH dubbed this along with Recipe #293230 #293230 and white rice as the newest member of our regular rotation. Used Tanqueray, and expected not to taste what is supposed to be a tasteless liquor, but definitely noticed its effect on us after eating 2 portions apiece along with a glass of wine. The pepper definitely added some "in-your-face" flavor. Served the shrimp over rather unadorned sauteed onions, garlic, mushrooms and green beans which were atop white rice. The directions could be more specific as to the desired temperature at which to cook, the approximate length of time to fry the garlic, and to cook the prawns (I cooked until pink) and how long to heat after the cream was added. Note: I found out that coriander is also known as cilantro. Thanks for posting, could hardly wait to try this recipe! Made for Fall 2008 Pick-a-Chef.

<p>Born and bred in Singapore but currently living and working in Shanghai. Loves travelling and cooking, especially if its for the ones i love! Truth be told, there are few I enjoy cooking for as much as my partner who never cease to shower me with compliments with whatever I lay on the table! The sweetest man whose best dish thus far is his self-concorted mango prawn salad he's absolutely proud of, except he's not telling! <br /> <br />Really glad I came across this webbie by chance! Used to love tearing random recipes off magazines, and has recently took up experimenting recipes myself, so this is a great place for me to compile and store my dog-earred, gravy-stained recipes! It is a happy find considering one of my favourite pastime includes browsing and drooling over cookbooks at bookstores! I love that everyone's sharing here and kudos to other contributors who are definitely making me look like a real chef!</p>
