Prawns in Cream Sauce (Iceland)
RECIPE BY: twissis
When I turned the pg of Cool Cuisine (Traditional Icelandic Cuisine) by Nanna Rognvaldardottir & read this recipe, it made me so hungry that I went straight to my kitchen for some food! Per her intro, "This is a luxurious dish! Altho langostines, prawns & other crustaceans now enjoy great popularity in Iceland, this has not always been the case. They were not commonly eaten a few decades ago, but Icelanders discovered these delicacies in a big way in the 1970s & have been making up for their earlier neglect ever since." This recipe has me thinking I should join their mission for our next spec occasion! (Time does not include the 30 min refrigeration time) Enjoy !

My whole family really liked this recipe, I used sherry in place of brandy as I didn't have brandy. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for the great tasting easy recipe

Prawns and cream AND from Iceland? Pawshaw.....this is a perfect dish in all aspects. You just can't go wrong when putting this delightful group of ingredients together. This made a light farm supper for Dennis tonight, as he had off for holiday, and he wanted something tasty, light, and tempting. This touched, no; actually fell, into all the categories ~ AND since he just adores any recipe twissis posts I knew it was going to be a winner from the start. Honestly, this worked together so fast, I could hardly believe it. I put the veggies in get soft, the shrimp, the brandy, POOF! nice live flame there, very professional and then the cream. Maybe it took 6 minutes (after you marinade the shrimp) to finish the dish, and I put daintily on the plate added some rice and done. Wow, another winner, twissis. You are the best, and I thank you for posting!
