About burnt garlic sauce
The burnt garlic butter sauce is a common sauce that’s made in many restaurants. Addition of prawns has taken the taste of the sauce to another level. I can only say it’s utterly delicious! I have used buttermilk (the milk that was left after extraction of homemade butter) here to make the sauce. You can also use milk, which tastes as delicious.
I have made burnt garlic prawn pasta using Weikfield’s Duram wheat Penne pasta. Since this isn’t maida makes it a healthier alternative to regular maida ones.

How to make burnt garlic prawn pasta
- First, marinate the prawns with a little salt and pepper for half an hour.
- Next, boil the pasta in the boiling water until it’s cooked. Keep it aside.
- Take a fry pan, heat a teaspoon of butter and fry the prawns for a few minutes. Keep it aside.
- To the same pan add rest of the butter and crushed garlic. Saute them till the garlic turns brown and slightly burnt.
- Add wheat flour, roast it till the flour gets aromatic and cooked.
- Slowly add buttermilk and continuously stir the mixture to form a smooth lump free sauce.
- Once the sauce begins to boil add grated cheese, black pepper, salt, chilly flakes, boiled corn and the fried prawns. Cook them for a minute or 2 and the sauce is ready.
- On the plate take pasta, pour the burnt garlic prawn sauce over the pasta. Serve hot with some more chilly flakes for a delicious hearty meal.
Notes
- Do not over cook the pasta. Do not add oil to pasta water or after cooking the pasta as that will prevent the sauce from sticking to the pasta.
- Fry the prawns only for 2-3 minutes because overcooking makes the prawn meat to turn tough.
- Addition of corn is optional, you can also use jalapenos, yellow bell peppers or anything that doesn’t have a very strong flavour to over power the flavor of prawns and garlic.

Hi, I like your blogs and recipes, also tried some of your recipes. As I am staying in Himachal Pradesh, here getting prawn is very difficult, rarely we get the frozen one. can it be cooked with chicken or any other meat(lamb, mutton, trout fish etc.). Will the taste be good?
Hi, thank you for writing to me. . I’m glad you like my recipes ???? You can definitely use chicken, mutton, fish anything.. Your sauce will get the flavor from that
