Prawns with Vernaccia Wine
Description
Vernaccia di Oristano is a dry white wine from Sardinia, enjoyed both as a table wine and as a cooking ingredient — as featured in our Prawns with Vernaccia Wine recipe.
To make this dish at its best, it’s ideal to use large, meaty red prawns, which will be seasoned with a flavorful and slightly spicy emulsion that makes them truly irresistible.
Want to add a special touch for a perfect golden crust? Sprinkle the surface with a bit of semolina and broil for the last 5 minutes of baking using the grill function.
