Prawns New Orleans' Style
Ingredients:
1 lb large prawns, raw or cooked
2 tbl vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 Spanish onion, peeled and chopped
1 red and 1 green pepper, de-seeded and chopped
8 oz okra, chopped
8 oz Italian-style tomatoes, fresh or tinned, chopped
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Clean, peel, and chop into quarter-inched cubes the peppers, onion, and okra. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the garlic with the onion, peppers, and okra for approximately 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook it gently for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until there is a nice, bright sauce. Season generously with allspice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Add the prawns. If they are raw, cook for 7 minutes. If they are already cooked and pink, heat through for 3 minutes. Stir so the prawns are covered in the sauce. Serve immediately with boiled rice.
