Did someone mention prawns and champagne?! They would have to be two of my most favourite things!
Put them both together and I’m in heaven! 🙂

Thank you. I was under the impression that alcohol had to cook a lot longer than that to ensure it’s gone.
Hi,
What could I substitute the champagne for to make it kid friendly? Stock?
Thanks 🙂
Jo as the champagne cooks for about 8 mins all the alcohol would be gone so would be kid friendly. I havent tried it without the champagne but you could try it with stock and water. Let me know how it goes. 🙂
I found this chart on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_with_alcohol#Alcohol_in_finished_food
It suggests after 15 mins there would still be 40% alcohol remaining – so that’s about 125 ml – about 30ml per serve. Maybe you could try low alcohol champagne?
I have had my Thermie for a few years now but only this week came across Thermofun. I was really delighted to find such an informative and comprehensive site on expanding your skills in using the Thermomix. I have been consumed and obsessed with trolling the site since. I first off tried this recipe the night before last. It was awesome. The prawns cooked perfectly, the sauce was delicious and I did enjoy the rest of the champagne whilst it was cooking. We used the leftover the next night as a prawn cocktail type entree to our swordfish steaks with steamed asparagus and corn which I cooked in the varoma. So many recipes to try and so little time. Cheers!
Thanks Benny – welcome to ThermoFun! 🙂
If I am going to double this recipe, how long do I cook the prawns for? Thanks
Naomi I would suggest you add 20% more cooking time. I’d love to hear how it goes as I have not doubled it. 🙂
