Earls Copycat West Coast Prawn Salad With Citrus Honey Vianaigrette Recipes

CITRUS SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing: Cut the top and bottom from an orange so it sits flat. Working from the top down, cut away the peel and pith to expose the flesh. Cut out the orange segments, leaving the membrane behind. Squeeze any juice from the membrane into a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining orange. You should have about 1/4 cup juice. Reserve the segments.
• Whisk the cream, vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper into the orange juice. While whisking, pour in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream to make a creamy, slightly thick dressing. Chill while you make the salad.
• For the salad: Sprinkle the shrimp with the Old Bay and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp in two batches until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove to a plate to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the shrimp, reserved orange segments, avocado, cucumber and fennel in the bowl with the dressing and toss gently. Mound the lettuce on a platter or individual plates and top with the salad. Garnish with fennel fronds.

PRAWN COCKTAIL SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk the ingredients for the dressing together. If it's a little thick, add a splash of water.
• Put the prawns, avocado, tomatoes, spring onions and lettuce in a large salad bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice, toss gently, then serve with the dressing handed round separately.

HONEY, SESAME & ORANGE KING PRAWNS

Steps:

• Mix the oil, orange zest and juice, honey, soy and vinegar in a bowl, then combine the cornflour, sesame seeds, five-spice and a pinch of salt in another bowl. Run a small knife down the back of each prawn, so they butterfly out as they cook, helping more sauce stick to them.
• Toss the prawns through the cornflour mixture. Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan. When it's very hot, add the garlic. Sizzle for 10 secs, but don't let it brown. Add the prawns and any flour and seeds left in the bowl. Stir-fry over a high heat for a few minutes, until the prawns are pink and the sesame seeds are golden. Tip the prawns onto a plate and pour the sauce mixture into the wok. Bubble for a few minutes until thickened. Add the prawns back to the wok and stir to coat in the sauce. Heat through for another 30 seconds. Top with spring onions and serve with rice.

CITRUS PRAWN MARINADE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, brandy, chile, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix the marinade well. With a small knife, slice through shell and back of each prawn and remove the 'vein'. Add the prawns to the marinade and set aside for 20 minutes.
• Drain the prawns then blot them dry. Build a hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill. Cook the shrimp over high heat until just warm at the center 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Serve warm drizzled with a little marinade if desired.

ROAST CORN, PRAWN, PEPPER & AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• First, make the dressing. Put the shallot, chillies and lime juice in a small bowl. Season, then whisk in the oil. Add the honey to taste, if using. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Stand one of the corn cobs upright in a dish, then, holding it at the top, slice down the sides using a very sharp knife to remove the kernels. Work round the cob until all the kernels have been removed. Repeat with the remaining cobs, then put the kernels in a small roasting tin and the peppers in a second tin. Season both, then add 1½ tbsp oil to each. Toss both to coat. Roast the peppers on the top shelf of the oven until slightly charred, about 30 mins. Roast the corn, tossing halfway through, for 15-20 mins.
• Tip the corn into a bowl and set aside. Brush the spring onions with the extra oil, put in the roasting tin and roast for 12-15 mins, until soft and slightly charred.
• Chop the avocado flesh or slice it. Immediately pour over half the lime juice to prevent it browning, then season.
• Slice the roasted peppers into strips, then arrange them, the spring onions and corn in a broad, shallow bowl. Add the coriander, treating it like a salad leaf (pull off any very coarse or long stalks). Spoon over the dressing.
• Pat the prawns dry with kitchen paper - if they're wet, they won't fry properly. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and, when really hot, add the prawns. Cook until they turn from grey to pink - this will happen very quickly. When you see this starting to happen, add the spices. Toss to combine, then season and squeeze over the juice of the remaining lime. Tip the prawns onto the salad and serve immediately.
