Grilled Prawns With Raw Sauce 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.

GRILLED PRAWNS WITH RAW SAUCE

Steps:

GRILLED PRAWNS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Devein the shrimp: Cut through the shell along the back of the shrimp with kitchen shears to expose the vein. Use the edge of the shears or the tip of a paring knife to remove the vein, leaving the shell intact.
• Brush the shrimp with olive oil. Grill until the shells are pink and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side (any exposed meat should be opaque). Remove the shrimp to a platter and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Gently squeeze ingredients in the bag to combine. Add shrimp. Remove as much air as possible, seal, and move shrimp around in the bag to coat in the marinade. Place in a tray or plate so shrimp are in a single layer. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Place a heat-proof skillet on one side of the grill to heat with the grill. Thread shrimp onto metal skewers.
• Place shrimp skewers onto the hot grate and grill until the shrimp turn white and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill.
• Meanwhile, pour 2 teaspoons olive oil into the hot skillet and cook onion, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in wine and allow to reduce, about 4 minutes. Stir in cream. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked pasta and shrimp to the skillet and stir to combine. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH ROASTED GARLIC-HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir first 3 ingredients in medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Add shrimp. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. Drain and rinse shrimp.
• Using shears, cut shrimp shells down center of back all the way to tail section. Using sharp knife, cut shrimp in their shells along the full length of the back (do not cut all the way through). Remove vein and pull off legs. Open shrimp.
• Whisk olive oil, white wine, garlic, parsley, and crushed red pepper in clean medium bowl. Add shrimp and stir; let stand 30 minutes.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place shrimp, flesh side down, on grill. Grill shrimp until pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter and serve, passing Roasted Garlic-Herb Sauce separately.
