Tiger prawn thermidor

 


Thermidor is a rich & luxurious French dish that is usually made using lobsters. The lobster meat is cooked in a creamy white sauce, stuffed back into the shells, topped with parmesan cheese and broiled till golden.
I have used some beautiful jumbo tiger prawns for this recipe. You could even make this using cray fish or large size prawns. If using prawns, cook the prawns in the white sauce , transfer to a baking tray, top with Breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese and broil. Serve with warm toasted bread.


INGREDIENTS

6-7 Jumbo Tiger Prawns

1 Small Onion Chopped

4-5 Cloves Of Garlic Chopped

2 tbs Maida

2 tbs Breadcrumbs
