Spicy Glaze for Chicken or Prawns image

Got this from a friend who is amazing chef. There is heat to this recipe so beware! It makes a wonderful paste to keep in the fridge or freezer and add at the last minute to sauteed chicken or prawns.

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 cup butter
10 minced garlic cloves
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Warm butter in saucepan or microwave until just barely melted. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cool, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate up to a week or freeze in tbsp size quantities.
  • To prepare chicken or prawns: Place about a pound or pound and a half of sauteed chicken pieces or peeled, boiled, drained prawns into a pot. Add about 2 tbsp glaze to the pot and cook over very low heat stirring often to coat completely. Allow it to caramelize slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Adjust the amount of paste according to how spicy you like your food. We sometimes add up to 4 tbsp for this much chicken or seafood.
