Ingredients

• 25g butter

• 1/2 cup of cream
• 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard
• 500g of peeled uncooked prawns
• 1 tablespoon of coarsely chopped parsley
• Salt to season

Method

1. Heat butter, oil and garlic in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat until the butter has melted.
2. Add flour. Cook, stirring for one minute or until the mixture bubbles.
3. Slowly add stock, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
