Prawn Chilli And Ginger Wrap Recipes

PRAWN, CHILLI, AND GINGER WRAP

Steps:

• Soak the bread in water for 10 seconds and then squeeze out as much water as possible. Put the bread pulp in a food processor with the prawns, chilli, ginger, garlic, coriander, and salt. Blitz until combined.
• Trim the tortilla to approximately 25cm x 13cm. Fold it in half to form a square roughly the same size as the base of your sandwich toaster. Unfold. Spread one side of the tortilla rectangle with the prawn mixture leaving a 1cm clear margin around the edge. Brush the rim of the tortilla with water and carefully fold it over and press the edges together to seal.
• Place the sandwich carefully in the toaster, close the lid slowly and cook for 5 minutes until browned.

VIETNAMESE PRAWN SUMMER ROLLS

Steps:

• Make the dipping sauce by pounding the garlic, chilli, ginger and sugar together using a pestle and mortar, then stir in the fish sauce and lime juice. Alternatively, just blitz everything together in a mini blender.
• Soak the rice noodles in a bowl of hot water for 15 mins, then drain well. Assemble all the prepared filling ingredients - once you start, you will need everything to hand.
• When you are ready to make the rolls, dip one of the rice papers in a bowl of hot water, moving it around until the whole wrapper is soft - about 10-15 secs - then drain on a tea towel.
• Place a rice paper wrapper on a board and at one edge of the wrapper, add a few mint leaves, then three prawn halves.
• Place some lettuce on top of the prawns, followed by some noodles, a few strips of carrot and cucumber, some more herbs and finally some beansprouts. Don't overfill the pancakes or they will be hard to roll.
• Lift the edge of the rice paper wrapper nearest to you over the filling and, holding the filling in position with your fingers, start rolling up tightly.
• When you're about halfway, fold the ends of the rice paper in and over the filling so that it is completely enclosed.
• Keep on rolling tightly until the whole rice paper wrapper is rolled up. To serve, cut the rolls in half on the diagonal.

CHILLI PRAWN LINGUINE

Steps:

• To make the dressing, mix 2 tbsp virtually fat-free fromage frais, the grated zest and juice of 2 limes and 2 tsp golden caster sugar in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Cook 280g linguine pasta according to the packet instructions. Add 200g trimmed sugar snap peas for the last minute or so of cooking time.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a wok or big frying pan, toss in 2 finely chopped large garlic cloves and 1 deseeded and finely chopped large red chilli and cook over a fairly gentle heat for about 30 seconds without letting the garlic brown.
• Tip in 24 peeled raw king prawns and cook over a high heat, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes until they turn pink.
• Add 12 halved cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes until they just start to soften.
• Drain the linguine pasta and sugar snap peas well, then toss into the prawn mixture.
• Tear in a handful of basil leaves, stir, and season with salt and pepper.
• Serve with mixed salad leaves drizzled with the lime dressing, and warm crusty white bread.

GINGER, SESAME AND CHILLI PRAWN & BROCCOLI STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat a pan of water until boiling. Tip in the broccoli and cook for just 1 min - it should still have a good crunch. Meanwhile, mix the stem ginger and syrup, soy sauce, garlic and finely chopped chilli.
• Toast the sesame seeds in a dry wok or large frying pan. When they're nicely browned, turn up the heat and add the oil, prawns and cooked broccoli. Stir-fry for a few mins until the prawns turn pink. Pour over the ginger sauce, then tip in the beansprouts. Cook for 30 seconds, or until the beansprouts are heated thoroughly, adding a splash more soy or ginger syrup, if you like. Scatter with the sliced chilli and serve over rice or noodles.

PIRI-PIRI PRAWN WRAP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Mix the soured cream with 1 tbsp lemon juice, the mint and seasoning, cover and put in the fridge. Toss the prawns in 2 tsp oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, the garlic, chilli, paprika and seasoning. Cover and put to one side. Wrap the breads in foil and put in the oven to warm.
• Heat a griddle pan on a medium- high heat. Toss the peppers in the remaining 2 tsp oil, season and cook on the griddle for 5-10 mins until charred and softened (you may need to do this in two batches). Transfer the peppers to an ovenproof dish, cover with foil and put in the oven to keep warm. Add the prawns to the griddle pan and cook for 2-3 mins each side until pink, cooked through and lightly charred. Serve with the warm wraps, lettuce, peppers and soured cream.
