How To Make Garlic Prawns In The Microwave

Hi, I'm Jennifer Marshall Jenkinson, President of the UK Microwave Technology Association and the author of the prize winning cookbook "Microwave Magic: The Art of 21st Century Cooking". So I've got in this dish 50g of melted butter. I'm just going to add two tablespoons of lemon juice, two tablespoons or there abouts of pesto sauce, give that a stir in.

Two garlic cloves - crushed - so that's stirred in togetherand 500 g of fresh washed raw prawns. Now I'm going to cover the dish with clean film.there we are.medium power for six minutes and stir half way through cooking time. And I've stirred then once half way through cooking time.

And here they are thoroughly cooked. Now prawns are difficult to cook because they're only cooked when they're bright pink. You don't want to overcook them because they'll toughen on the other hand you don't want to serve them raw.

So every prawn must be bright pink in color. So I'm going to serve these now on a lovely bed of cooked rice .
