A sweet corn puree that will make you want to lick the plate with prawns cooked to perfection and with a hint of heat from the paprika. A small amount of Basil oil all around the dish, it will enhance the flavor.
Taking classes from a chef it’s an honor. When the chef acquired her experience and partially trained with a Michelin chef after graduating from culinary school, it is surreal and I am still pinching myself at the opportunity that was given to me. Being taught personally and cooking with a chef I must admit it is nerve wracking.
