Grilled Prawns With Cheese Puff Sauce Recipes

GRILLED PRAWNS WITH GARLIC-CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the shrimp on the hot grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. Arrange the prawns on a serving platter.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the garlic in the hot oil until brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir the lemon grass, chile peppers, shallot, lime leaves, fish sauce, lime juice, and chilli paste into the garlic; toss to combine. Spoon the sauce over the prawns. Garnish with the mint to serve.

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 CHEESE PUFF SAUCE

Steps:

• Pick 1/4 cup of the fennel fronds from the green stalks of the fennel and reserve. Cut the remaining green stalks off the fennel and discard. Cut off the other end of the fennel, and then quarter, core and thinly slice the bulb (about 1 1/2 cups total).
• Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to a large saucepan set between medium and medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the fennel and cook until tender and slightly caramelized around edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the shallots and cook until tender, an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Add the spicy cheese puffs, 2 tablespoons water and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently. (If the cheese puffs start to break down and stick to the bottom of the pan, stir in a tablespoon of additional water and use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to scrape up the bits at the bottom of the pan.) Stir in the orange juice and 1/3 cup water and cook until the cheese puffs are completely softened, about 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth, adding water if needed so the consistency is similar to a thick gravy. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Transfer the sauce back to the same saucepan and cover with a lid to stay warm.
• Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat and allow to heat for at least 5 minutes. Toss the shrimp with 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until charred in spots and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drizzle with olive oil as needed. Transfer to a plate and reserve.
• To serve, spread a large spoonful of the sauce onto 2 large serving plates. Add 3 of the grilled shrimp and top with the reserved fennel fronds. Serve immediately.

GRILLED PRAWNS WITH A SPICY PEANUT-LIME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Stir together lemon grass, 1/4 cup ginger, garlic, cilantro, 1 minced chile, and 3/4 cup peanut oil in a large bowl. Add the shrimp, and toss to coat; let marinate at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, pour lime juice, rice vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, and water into the bowl of a blender or food processor. Add the lime zest, 1 tablespoon ginger, fish sauce, 2 chile peppers, garlic, and peanut butter; process until smooth. While processing, slowly pour in the peanut oil; process until smooth and creamy. Pour into a bowl, stir in mint, cilantro and chopped peanuts; season to taste with salt.
• Remove shrimp from marinade, shaking off any excess. Grill on preheated grill until pink and firm, about 2 minutes per side. Serve immediately with sauce.

SHRIMP IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add broth and garlic. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cream, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper., Butterfly shrimp, by cutting lengthwise almost in half, but leaving shrimp attached at opposite side. Spread to butterfly. Place cut side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Pour cream sauce over shrimp. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Serve with noodles or rice.
