Australian Chili Prawns Recipes

PATSY'S GARLIC & CHILLI PRAWNS

Steps:

• Peel the prawns, removing the heads and leaving the tails on. Run the tip of a knife down the backs of the peeled prawns and pull out and discard the dark vein.
• Peel the garlic and finely chop with the chilli (deseed if you like). Pick and finely chop the parsley leaves.
• Drizzle the oil into a shallow heatproof terracotta dish or a small frying pan over a medium-high heat, add the garlic and chilli and fry for 30 seconds to flavour the oil, before stirring in the paprika.
• Add the prawns and fry for 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through, adding most of the parsley when you turn the prawns.
• Squeeze half the lemon juice into the dish, then remove from the heat and sprinkle over the remaining parsley and a pinch of sea salt.
• Serve sizzling with warm crusty bread, the remaining lemon cut wedges for squeezing over, and a glass of good Spanish wine.

CHILI PRAWNS

Steps:

• Stir the chicken stock, ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sweet chili-garlic sauce together in a small bowl.
• Heat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the oil and swirl to coat the sides. Add the garlic, ginger, shallot and chili. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until they turn pink and curl slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute. While stirring in a circular motion, slowly pour in the beaten egg. This will create egg "flowers". Turn off the heat, scoop the contents of the wok onto a platter and serve immediately.

CHILLI PRAWNS

Steps:

• Combine the tomato sauce with the sherry and sugar. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat, add the chilli, garlic and ginger. Stir in the shallots and tomato mixture. Simmer fo 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the prawns and simmer until just cooked.
• Serve on a bed of spaghetti, garnished with chopped parsley.

AUSTRALIAN CHILI PRAWNS

Steps:

• Shell the prawns, leaving the tail intact; remove the black vein.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl, mix well; mix in the prawns, cover, refrigerate 1 - 2 hours.
• Thread prawns onto skewers, barbecue quickly until cooked and tender. Brush with remaining marinade during cooking.

CHILE PRAWNS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Dredge prawns in flour, then fry in the hot oil until golden. Remove to paper towels to drain.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the chile sauce, pomegranate juice, Sriracha hot sauce, hot ketchup, regular ketchup, soy sauce, lemon juice and lemon zest. Pour the sauce into a wok, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the sauce has reduced by about 10 percent and has thickened slightly. Mix the prawns into the sauce, and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
