Checkout Prawn Ghee Roast Recipe – A super Delicious Prawn / Shrimps side dish which goes well with steamed rice, biryani, pulao, chapathi or roti.
Prawn Ghee Roast is a mangalorean delicacy where prawns are roasted in a special masala and ghee. The special masala is very aromatic and flavourful. You can use the same masala as the base for making chicken ghee roast and mutton ghee roast. I have another variant of mutton ghee roast. This Recipe will be a keeper, as it can be prepared under less time. Prawns will turn rubbery if you over cook. So make sure you cook in the prescribed time below. Also cleaning and de-veining the prawns is very important. Otherwise it may cause some digestive issues.
I never knew that ghee would add so much flavor to a non-veg recipe. Be generous in adding ghee and you would love the taste for sure. The masala is cooked well in ghee which makes all the difference. I served it with Rice and it was very yummy. I also made Prawn karandi omelette with leftover prawns from this ghee roast. Do check it out. Checkout the recipe with step by step pictures below. Come back to let me know how you liked it.
