Ingredients

185 gram fresh mushrooms, such as swiss brown (see tip)

100 gram unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/4 cup eschalots, chopped

1 large garlic clove, chopped

1 teaspoon thyme, chopped

2 tablespoon lemon juice

16 large green prawns, peeled and deveined

Method

1.Preheat oven to 240°C. Finely chop enough fresh mushrooms to fill 1/3 cup and quarter remaining mushrooms.

2.Melt 20g butter in a medium, non- stick frying pan on medium heat. Sauté eschalots and garlic for 1 minute. Add finely chopped mushrooms and thyme, and sauté‚ for 2 minutes. Remove mushroom mixture from heat and mix in 60g butter. Stir in lemon juice and season to taste.

3.Arrange prawns in a single layer in a lightly oiled baking pan. Spoon mushroom mixture over prawns and bake for 5 minutes. Turn prawns over and bake for another 5 minutes.

4.Meanwhile, heat remaining butter in a large frying pan on high. Add quartered mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, until golden. Season to taste.

5.To serve, arrange prawns in serving dishes and spoon over Mushroom Butter.

Swiss brown mushrooms have the perfect flavour to complement the prawns.
