Chef’s notes

A Creole-inspired derivative for prawns, rice or beans; this does not claim one definitive regional formula.
When scaling, adjust pan or tin size and work in batches where needed; cooking and proving times follow texture and temperature, not the portion multiplier.

Keeping

Cool promptly in shallow containers and refrigerate at 4°C or below. Use within 3 days. Reheat hot dishes thoroughly; prepare fresh garnishes at service.
