Best One Pan Prawn Pilau Recipes

ONE-PAN PRAWN PILAU

Steps:

• Heat a large wide pan and dry-fry the curry paste with the onions for 4-5 mins until the onion begins to soften. Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat in the curry paste. Add the stock, then bring to the boil.
• Cover the pan and turn the heat down to low. Leave the rice to simmer slowly for 12-15 mins until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked. Turn off the heat and stir in the prawns, peas and chilli. Cover the pan and leave to stand for 5 mins.
• Fluff up the rice grains with a fork and season if you want. Scatter over the coriander and serve with lemon wedges.

PRAWN PULAO RECIPE | SHRIMP PULAO

Steps:

• Wash the basmati rice 2-3 times and soak in water for 20 minutes. Then transfer to a colander to drain out all the excess water.
• Smear the prawns with turmeric powder and salt, just to add some color and flavor. Then set aside.
• Heat oil in a pan and add bay leaves, green cardamoms, cinnamon, and cloves. Saute the whole spices for a few seconds.
• Add sliced onion and saute until onions turn golden brown in color.
• Add ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Saute for 1-2 minutes, until the raw smell of ginger-garlic goes away.
• Add red chili powder. Saute to mix.
• Add chopped tomato followed by salt. Saute until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
• Add garam masala powder. Saute to mix.
• Now add prawns and stir fry the prawns over a high flame for 2 minutes.
• Add soaked and drained rice. Stir gently for 2 minutes. Make sure the grains don't break.
• Next, add 2 cups of water. Stir to mix. You can check for the seasoning right now.
• Turn the flame to high. When you see a very little water bubbling on the surface, simmer the flame, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until you see the rice is cooked through. But don't open the lid in between. You can press with your finger to see if the rice is cooked or not.
• Shrimp pulao is ready to serve. Serve hot adding some chopped coriander leaves on top.
