PRAWNS IN COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• First apply some salt and turmeric to the prawns and set them aside for at least 30 minutes.
• In the meantime extract the coconut milk. Grate the coconut and put it in a mixer with some warm water. Give it a good blitz and then strain the milk. The first extract will be thick and creamy. Put the grated coconut back with some more warm water and purée it well. The second extract will be thinner.
• Heat a little bit of oil and lightly sauté the prawns. You will find them changing colour and becoming redder. Take them out and keep them aside.
• Heat some more oil and add some cumin seeds. Once they start to crackle add the onion paste and ginger paste. Sauté till it starts leaving oil. Add the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt and sugar. Fry for a minute or so and add a cup of water. Once it comes to a boil slowly add the coconut milk.
• Now add the prawns, put the flame on low, cover and cook for about 10 minutes.
• Garnish with some shredded coconut.

COCONUT PRAWNS WITH CORIANDER MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Shell and devein prawns, leaving tails intact (makes for better presentation, you will notice from my photo Mine do not as I had to buy them already shelled from my fish store so didn't have a choice.).
• Dip prawns in egg, coat in coconut (I like to double dip so I really get a good coating of coconut, if you do not do this you may need less coconut.)Place prawns on a plate, cover, refrigerate about 20 Min's. Or make ahead of time and store till needed, only same day use though.
• Heat some oil in a frying pan, add prawns, cook on both sides until browned and crisp. Serve with coriander mayonnaise and over roti, if desired. I served mine over crab and zucchini fritters.
• Coriander Mayonnaise.
• Blend turmeric with the water in a small bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. This can be made ahead of time and just stored in the fridge.

CRUNCHY COCONUT PRAWNS

Steps:

• Remove the shell from the prawns keeping the tail on, prepare 3 bowls, one with the flour in, one with the beaten egg and one with the coconut and breadcrumbs mixed together. Dip the prawns first in the flour, then the beaten egg and finally toss in the coconut mix until evenly coated.
• To make the dipping sauce, place the cordial, chilli and rice wine vinegar in a small saucepan, bring to the boil, simmer until reduced a little and syrupy.
• Heat the oil in a pan, cook the prawns until golden for approx. 5 mins, turning half way if shallow frying, drain on kitchen paper.
• Serve the prawns with the lime and coconut dipping sauce
