Pan Cooked Giant Prawns Recipes

PAN-ROASTED PRAWNS

Steps:

• Make a quick marinade for the prawns by combining them in a bowl with a healthy drizzle of olive oil, the paprika, crushed garlic, lemon slices, salt, and pepper. Toss the prawns so they are coated with all the good stuff and marinate for 5 minutes to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is hot, pull the prawns out of the marinade and toss them into the pan. Saute for 3 minutes on each side until the shells are red and charred.

SAUTéED GIANT PRAWNS WITH GARLIC AND CHILLI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan until just sizzling. Increase the heat, add the prawns and fry until cooked through (about 3 minutes). Add the lemon juice, garlic and chilli and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the salad, heat the oil in a medium pan and add the garlic, frying for 1-2 minutes until lightly coloured. Add the blanched beans and stir to combine.
• To serve, add the prawns, a portion of the sauce and salad to individual bowls. Remove the heads from the prawns and squeeze all the wonderful juices into the sauce.

TIGER PRAWNS IN GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Rinse the prawns in a colander, remove their heads and leave them to drain.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic and fry over a low heat for 2 to 3 minutes (Cook the prawns in a large frying pan or cast iron flamproof dish that can be taken directly to the table, so that they retain their heat until they are served).
• Add the lime rind and juice.
• Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more.
• Add the prawns and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn pink.
• Remove them from the heat, sprinkle with coriander and serve with the warm tortillas.
• Give each guest a finger bowl filled with water and a slice of lemon, for cleaning their fingers after shelling the prawns, and provide lots of paper napkins!
