This elegant prawn butter is a versatile addition to any seafood lover’s kitchen. By sautéing whole prawns with sweet caramelised onions, fragrant garlic, and fresh thyme, you extract a deep, savoury essence that far surpasses any shop-bought alternative. The result is a rich, coral-coloured spread that captures the delicate sweetness of the shellfish in every bite.
Serve this luxurious butter as a sophisticated starter alongside slices of toasted sourdough, or use it to finish a pan-seared fillet of sea bass for a restaurant-quality main course. Although this recipe uses butter as a base, it fits beautifully into a dairy-free lifestyle when prepared with a high-quality plant-based butter alternative, ensuring everyone can enjoy its intense Mediterranean flavours.
