Ingredients

1 c Butter softened

1 bn fresh cilantro Chopped

2 ts fresh ginger Minced

2 ts Garlic minced

4 Limes divided

2 Red bell peppers julienned

36 Black tiger prawns peeled

1/2 c Dry white wine optional

Salt and pepper to taste

3 c Fresh spinach julienned


Directions

In the bowl of a food processor, combine butter, cilantro, ginger and garlic. Process until smooth. Add the juice of 3 limes and mix well. Saute bell peppers and prawns in the cilantro-butter mixture over medium heat. The wine may be added at this point. (It helps keep the butter from scorching and makes a smoother sauce.) Cook until prawns are pink and just barely done. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on 1/2 cup of julienned spinach for each serving, drizzling the butter over the top to wilt the spinach. Garnish with lime wedges. From Silverwater Cafe, Port Townsend Wash. From the Oregonian FOODday, 1/5/93. Posted by Stephen Ceideburg

Great recipe thank you for posting

I adjusted the quantities for 2 servings and reduced the lime to one and a half. Very nice flavor, I would make it again

We first made this dish from the recipe in the Oregonian in 1993 as noted. Loved it. Made it several times since. Recently had a craving and couldn't find the recipe. Were elated when we found it here on BigOven. Thanks for taking the time to post it!
