Grilled prawns with butter and garlic, Basmati Rice with Pomegranate Seeds and Pine nuts 牛油蒜烤虾, 红石榴松子印度香米饭

Don't be scared by the long title of this post, actually these are two simple recipes. Sometime when I getting boring to cook Chinese foods, I like to have this type of grill and simple foods.



 
 so happy when enjoying this rice with this beautiful colour of combination..

 
I also prepared a simple salad like this- cucumber, onion and lettuce, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
 
the grilled shrimps were so juicy and have nice buttery and garlicky aroma..

 
after my son watched the America's First Master chef Junior , he started has interest on cooking, see he was helping me to grill the shrimps, ^_^

  12. yum! It's my kind of clean and simple meal with the prawns skewers. Except that I probably wouldn't even bother skewering and put them on the grill! hahah! Love these flavours with the sweet and savoury.
