Grilled Prawns In Butter Recipes

GRILLED GARLIC BUTTER PRAWNS

Steps:

• If your prawns haven't been deveined, use a sharp pair of kitchen scissors and make a long incision down the length of the back then remove the vein.
• Place the prawns in a large bowl. Pour over the oil and season with the cajun spice, lemon pepper and salt. Mix well to ensure all the prawns are evenly coated.
• To make the sauce, melt the butter in a large pot (the pot needs to be big enough to toss all the prawns in once they are cooked) and add the garlic, lemon juice and spices.
• Allow to cook for a minute until fragrant then pour in the cream. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 5 minutes then remove from the heat.
• Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. The sauce needs to be a little too lemony and very well seasoned. Once the prawns are added, the sauce will mellow a bit.
• Preheat the grill for 10-15 minutes. I prefer using an outdoor grill/braai/barbecue as the smoke adds incredible flavor to the shrimp once cooked but you can use a griddle pan too.
• Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are coral/orange in color. As the prawns cook, add them to the pot with the sauce.
• Once all the prawns have been added, toss to coat the prawns in the sauce.
• Serve over rice or with crusty bread and extra lemon wedges.

HAWAIIAN GARLIC BUTTER PRAWNS WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND PICKLED SERRANOS

• Bring the chicken broth and coconut milk to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice, then cover, reduce the heat and cook for 20 to 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Slice the pineapples 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick and grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side. Let cool, then cut away and discard the rind and core. Cut into large pieces and set aside.
• Combine the vinegar, sugar and 1/4 cup salt in a bowl. Thinly slice the serranos and add to the pickling liquid. Let sit at room temperature for 20 to 40 minutes. Drain.
• Add the garlic and butter to a large skillet over medium heat; cook until the butter is melted and the garlic has browned. Stir in the juice of 3 of the lemons and the cilantro and parsley. Add the prawns and cook just halfway through. Remove the prawns from the garlic butter, thread onto skewers and grill until fully cooked. Meanwhile, continue to cook the garlic butter sauce for another few minutes and then strain.
• Toss the arugula with the juice of the remaining 2 lemons and some salt.
• To serve: Plate a small portion of arugula, add 1/4 cup or less of coconut rice, and top with 3 prawns. Spoon over 2 tablespoons of the garlic butter sauce, then add a few pieces of grilled pineapple and pickled serrano.

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED PRAWNS WITH SRIRACHA-LEMONGRASS BUTTER

Steps:

• On a cutting board, using a pair of kitchen scissors, or sharp paring knife, cut the shrimp lengthwise through the shell, along the top side about 1 inch below the head and press to flatten. Pull out and discard the intestinal vein that runs lengthwise.
• In a small microwave safe bowl, combine the softened butter with the sriracha, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, turmeric, fish sauce and lime juice and season with the salt. Microwave on high power just until soft enough to brush but not melted, about 5 seconds.
• Light a grill and oil the grates. Arrange the butterflied shrimp in a hinged grill basket, shell-side down, brush with oil and season with salt. Brush very lightly with some of the butter. Grill the shrimp, shell side down until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Brush the shrimp with more of the butter, turn and grill until lightly charred and cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the shrimp to plates and serve with the remaining butter, naan, lime wedges and cilantro. Serve right away.
