Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 4 spring onions (finely sliced)
- 1 clove large garlic (crushed)
- 1 litre chicken stock
- 450 g frozen sweetcorn
- 400 g cooked peeled prawns (see notes)
- Salt and pepper
- Coriander and sliced fresh chilli to garnish
Instructions
- To prepare the sweetcorn pour 300ml boiling water over the frozen kernels. Now cream the kernels either by pulsing in a food processor or blender, or using a stick blender. The aim is for the kernels to be pureed but retain texture so this will take only a few seconds.
- Fry the spring onions on a low heat for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and fry for a further minute.
- Add the stock and sweetcorn. Bring to the boil and simmer for a minute or two.
- Add the prawns, bring back to the boil, and simmer for another minute until they are piping hot. Check the seasoning adding salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve garnished with fresh coriander and sliced chilli if you wish.
Notes
Use your favourite prawns. I like a mixture of regular prawns and king prawns.
