Cod with Creamy Prawn Sauce

Another trip to the beach today supplied me with a couple of cod straight off the boats.

Ingredients £2.51

2 cod fillets

400ml milk

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 dtsp butter

1 Shallot finely chopped

1 dtsp plain flour

75g freshwater (small) prawns

½ lemon zest


Method

1. Poach the cod in the milk with the salt and pepper, cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes.

2. In a clean pan melt the butter and add the chopped shallot and cook until softened. Add the flour and coat the shallot.

3. Add the prawns, lemon zest and the milky liquor the cod was cooked in and stir to ensure the liquor is absorbed into the flour.

4. Finely adjust seasoning to taste and spoon over the cod fillets to serve.
