Servings: persons

60 g unsalted butter
1 leek, finely chopped (white part only)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
400 g peeled green prawns
1 tablespoon plain flour
185 ml fish stock
125 ml dry white wine
300 ml thickened cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 sheets puff pastry
1 egg yolk, mixed with 1 tbs water, to brush

1
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
2
Add the leek and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until softened.
3
Season the prawns and add to the pan. Stir for 2 minutes or until just cooked, then remove the prawns with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4
Add flour to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add stock and wine and whisk to remove any lumps. Increase heat to medium then cook for 10 minutes or until liquid has reduced.
5
Stir in cream, then simmer for a further 10 minutes or until mixture is thickened and reduced by half. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
6
Add lemon juice, herbs and mustard, then return the prawns to the mixture. Season, then cool completely.
7
Using shells or ramekins as a guide, cut 12 pastry lids, leaving a 5mm border. Make light incisions in the pastry lids, following the shape of the shells.
8
Divide filling among shells and top with pastry, pressing edges to seal. Chill for 15 minutes.
9
Preheat oven to 200u00b0C.
10
Brush pastry lids with egg wash. Place pies on a tray and bake for 12-15 minutes until the pastry is cooked and golden.
