Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven 180 degrees
Combine butter, half the garlic, half the chives and chilli flakes into a small bowl.
In another bowl combine the remaining garlic & chives with the cream cheese & sour cream, salt & pepper. Whip until well combined
Using a sharp knife, remove the top of the cob and scoop out all the soft bread into medium chunks. Place cob & bread chunks on an oven tray; brush with oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until cob is crisp and golden brown. Remove from oven
Meanwhile, add the garlic butter mixture and olive oil to a large frying pan over medium high heat. Cook the prawns in batches for a few minutes on each side until just cooked. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper
Allow the cob to cool slightly, then fill with the garlic cream cheese mixture
Transfer the prawns to the cob as they are cooked. Drizzle with any remaining juices from the pan. Transfer to a serving plate; serve with lemon wedges.
