Prawns in creamy cheese sauce
When I am busy, I just want to have something very simple but yet very delicious. The best would be if it is one of my top favourites. Prawns, or shrimps, often came to my mind. A wonderful food blogger and friend, Drick, of http://dricksramblingcafe.blogspot.com has a lot of awesome prawn recipes that look very simple and easy to cook. They are totally different from my usual way of cooking prawns, which are very Asian style. I seldom use cream and cheese in my cooking but thought I should give a try.
This dish came out very delicious. My children liked it very much. They even mentioned it again the next day. I have to thank Drick very much for the Parsley Cream Sauce recipe. He is such a talented cook. Best of all it’s really simple, easy and quick. Drick used parsley but I used spring onions because I didn’t have parsley. I’m not good in using cheese so I just chose a familiar one, cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
500g ready cooked king prawns
2T butter
1 big onion (peeled and diced)
1C spring onions (washed and cut)
1/2 C white wine
1/3C double cream
1/2C grated cheddar cheese
1/2t sea salt
1/2t fresh ground black pepper
Making the cheese sauce
Heat up a frying pan or wok. Add the butter and diced onions. Fry until the onions are transparent and fragrant. Add the rest of the other ingredients.
Delicious creamy cheese sauce
Keep stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce looks thick.
Add prawns to the cheese sauce
Add the prawns. Let it come to a boil and heated through. Dish up and serve hot. It goes very well with noodles or pasta.

Mary, I think all kids generally love this dish. Everytime we eat out in Malaysia, we will definitely order butter cheese prawns. It looks like your dish but they use curry leaves, evaporated milk and lots of chili padi to make it flalvourful and creamy!

My favourite, prawns… keke…

Woww cheese sauce with prawns sounds interesting…yummm!!
tigerfish on May 17th, 2010
The cheesy cream sauce seems easy to make. When I make this, I will pair them with pasta and enjoy it as a one-dish. I seldom make creamy pasta - but this might be the next one

@Angie’s Recipes - Thanks very much, Angie! Have fun cooking 
@Quinn - That sounds very delicious. I must try that next time but I need to go and look for curry leaves first. Chili padi will be too hot for me so I think I will use the normal chilies. I’m sure I will enjoy it very much…mmmm
@somewhere in singapore - Great..we are sharing the same favourite!
@Priya - Thanks very much, Priya!
@tigerfish - Sometimes it’s good to have a chnage. Can be challenging especially if it’s from another culture. But I’m glad this dish works
@sushma mallya - Thanks very much, Sushma!

How creamy it is! Yummy!
Tangled Noodle on May 17th, 2010
Creamy sauce + prawns + pasta = the perfect meal!
I love cheese sauces but rarely make them because of the calorie content. But when the craving is simply too much to bear, I like to use light cream, broth or wine, and then just a bit of Parmesan cheese to thicken it up. If I stir in the noodles right away and let it rest, the sauce usually thickens enough so that it seems even cheesier. Mmmm . . .
petite nyonya on May 17th, 2010
this looks so rich, creamy and delicious! i also seldom use cheese or cream in my cooking but would love to give it a couple of tries.
Sarah Naveen on May 17th, 2010

I’m drooling over this delicious dish…any more left??
Mary on May 17th, 2010
@Little Inbox - Thank very much!
@Tangled Noodle - Haha….a lovely Maths equation! I know, the calorie content can be quite scary but once in a while I would love to try with light cream next time. Thanks very much for the tip!
@petite nyonya - Thanks very much! It’s actually fun trying out something out of my comfort zone. Glad it turned out delicious
@Sarah Naveen - Thanks very much, Sarah!
@anncoo - Oooops….all in my tummy already!! When comes to prawns, it’s always an empty plate/bowl left…licked clean…LOL. I’ll cook more for you but you have to be right in front of me when I cook otherwise it will end up in my tummy again

lequan@luvtoeat on May 18th, 2010
I love melted cheese, melted butter, and cream! What a perfect combination. The creamier and cheeseyer the better. I’ve got a weakness for melted cheese. Thanks for sharing this recipe Mary.
TasteHongKong on May 18th, 2010
No doubt, a simple and delicious dish. And I also love to have such generous amount of creamy sauce for topping my spaghetti : ).

shaz on May 18th, 2010

I have never tried just cheese sauce and shrimp, I usually mix them with rice,noodle or pasta. The picture looks so yummy. I liked your substitution of spring onion.
