SKEWERED TIGER PRAWNS WITH HONEY-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Preheat a griller (broiler) on high.
• Combine all the Honey-Lime Butter ingredients in a small food processor fitted with the metal blade or in a blender, including paprika to taste. Process until smooth. Using a spatula, transfer to a small, heavy pan and place over low heat. Cook gently for 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Set aside.
• Prepare a heatproof grilling plate or barbecue plate by lining with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Drain the skewers and thread 2 prawns onto each of the skewers. Arrange the skewers on the foil-covered plate. Brush the prawns with some of the butter.
• Grill or broil, turning once and brushing with the butter to keep the prawns moist and well flavored, until cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Transfer to warmed individual plates and garnish with the coriander sprigs and lime halves. Best served immediately.

HONEY LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large ziploc bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. When everything is well-combined, add the shrimp, squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag, and close it up. Place it in the fridge.
• Let the shrimp marinate for 30-60 minutes, flipping the bag around once or twice during that time, so that all the shrimp stay evenly covered in the marinade.
• When you're ready to cook, take the shrimp out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; there is no need to add any oil or butter to the pan, as the marinade has enough oil in it to keep the shrimp from sticking to the pan. (If you would prefer to use the grill for these, you can thread them onto skewers and toss them on the grill at this point.).
• Add your shrimp to the pan in a single layer, making sure they are not too crowded; you can always cook them in more than one batch.
• Let them cook on one side for about a minute, until they curl up and start to turn pink.
• Flip them over, and cook for another 30 seconds or so, until the shrimp are opaque.
• Remove from the pan, and serve immediately!
