Gin-Gingered Prawns
Ingredients
24 fresh or freshly thawed prawns or large shrimp
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup green onions chopped
3 tbsp pickled ginger, chopped
1/4 cup gin

Cooking Instructions
Remove the shells from the prawns and set aside. This task is much easier when the prawns are slightly frozen.
Melt butter in a skillet over low heat.
Add the chopped green onions and stir for a minute until slightly softened.
Add the prawns. Cook for 2 minutes or until just translucent.
Add the chopped pickled ginger, a little of the ginger juice from the jar, and the gin.
Cook for one more minute.
Serve immediately with a crusty baguette for dipping.

1/3 cup gin
1 tsp salt

Cook for another 10 minutes pushing down the tomatoes with a wooden spoon to smash.
