How to Make

  • Step 1: To clarify the butter, place butter in a medium sized saucepan over low heat and allow butter to melt slowly, the milk solids will sink to the bottom and separate from the clear butterfat.

  • Step 2: As the butter melts, skim off any milk solids that rise to the surface.

  • Step 3: Once the butter has completely melted carefully and slowly pour the butterfat through a strainer into a clean bowl and discard the milk solids.

  • Step 4: Reserve a 1/4 cup of the clarified butter and set aside, add the remaining butter into a clean saucepan and over low heat, add nutmeg, lemon juice, garlic and white pepper and gently swirl the pan to mix.

  • Step 5: Turn off the heat and allow flavours to infuse for 5 minutes.

  • Step 6: Combine the prawn meat and parsley in a bowl and add the flavoured butter and mix well and then divide mixture between four serving dishes that have about a 1/2 cup capacity.

  • Step 7: Set in the fridge until mixture solidifies, then remove dishes from the fridge and pour a thin layer of the reserved clarified butter on each dish.

  • Step 8: To serve, sprinkle a little chilli powder on top as a garnish with crusty bread.
