Ingredients

• 500 grams Prawns (Shrimp, cleaned and deveined)
• 4 large Tomatoes (ripe, chopped)
• 1 medium Onion (chopped)
• 3 units Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 units Green chilies (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 100 milliliters Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the prawns thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Keep aside.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chilies. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a thick sauce.

Step 6

Season the tomato sauce with turmeric powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Add the fresh thyme leaves and pour in the water. Stir and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Lower the heat and add the prawns to the sauce. Stir gently to coat the prawns evenly with the sauce.

Step 9

Cook the prawns for 7-10 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook, as prawns can become rubbery.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust salt or spices as needed.

Step 11

Remove the pan from the heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Step 12

Serve the Prawn Shrimp Rougaille hot with steamed rice, freshly baked bread, or a side of your choice.
