Yields4 Servings
Prep Time40 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time50 mins
 2 tbsp Alouette Crème de Brie, formed into long thin rounds, on parchment paper and placed in freezer. more is not better.
 6 slices thin sliced bacon, sliced in half and keep in fridge until ready to wrapplain bacon, no smoke
 ½ cup William Chris Rosé, room temperature
 12 8-12 count prawns, shelled to tail, deveined, small slit down back
 1 tbsp unsalted butter
 2 tbsp duck fat
 2 tsp Cavender's Greek Seasoning
 1 tbsp Acadian Feux
1

Place prawns in rosé about 10 minutes before you begin.

2

Have a cast iron skillet for cooking prawns, and a nonstick skillet for finishing in sauce.

3

With peeled and deveined prawns, place frozen brie along top of prawn and squeeze. Tightly wrap bacon around prawn slightly overlapping to wrap entire prawn. Place down as to keep it intact. (image is of jumbo shrimp, not prawns)

4

In a cast iron skillet, heat duck fat over medium high heat, add butter to melt.

5

Season one side of prawns with Cavender's, Triple Blast and then Feux, pressing in slightly.

6

Once fats are heated, place prawns in; seasoned side down. Mindful of the hot fats. Season other side the same way. Cook until bacon is just crisped. Turn and let crisp on other side, and top if needed.
Finish in medium heated nonstick skillet with scant amount of peanut oil. Adding Terrebonne Sauce liberally. Gently moving as to not stick. Flip, re-sauce until sauce is thickened well. Place on glass or porcelain plate (do not place on paper towel)

7

And whatever you do, do not cook the remaining sauce down until reduced by 2/3, shake pan to spread, remove from heat and cool, then peel it off to cooling rack in the fridge for a couple hours, then break it into fin pieces and garnish a ramakin of panna cotta. Do not do that.
