Do Piazeh Meygoo - Spicy King Prawns and Onions

Do Piazeh Meygoo is a tantalising seafood dish hailing from the southern coasts of Iran, where the rich flavours of the Persian Gulf come alive. The name itself is rooted in the Farsi word piaz, meaning onion, with Do Piazeh referring to dishes where onions take centre stage. In this recipe, succulent prawns are combined with caramelised onions, aromatic turmeric, and tender potatoes to create a dish that is both simple and flavour-packed. With minimal cooking time, Do Piazeh Meygoo is perfect for a quick yet satisfying meal. For a lighter version, you can skip the fried potatoes and enjoy it as a healthy option, served with bread, rice, or a fresh salad. This versatile dish truly showcases the vibrant culinary traditions of southern Iran.
