Lemon Grass Prawn Shrimp Skewers With Mango Mayonnaise Recipes

THE BEST LEMONGRASS SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet (possibly 12" skillet) over medium high heat; add butter, garlic, lemongrass, shallot and pinch of salt. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, stir occasionally.
• Meanwhile, mix fish sauce, honey, thai chili and black pepper in a small mixing bowl to make sauce. Set aside.
• Add the shrimp into the skillet, stir well so the shrimp will be coated evenly with the butter and aromatics. Spread the shrimp evenly as possible and cook for 2 minutes or until it's half way cooked through.
• Pour the sauce mixture and stir. Cook for additional 2 minutes or until shrimps are fully cooked. (adjust cooking time if you are using smaller size shrimp than U/15.) Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy with my Garlic Noodle or Garlic Rice!

SHRIMP ON LEMONGRASS SKEWERS

Steps:

• Trim the tough ends and exterior sheaths from the lemongrass; roughly chop the trimmings and toss them with the shrimp, salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, oil, and nam pla. Let rest while you preheat the grill or broiler; the fire should be quite hot and the heat source roughly 4 inches from the rack. Bruise the lemongrass stalks with the back of a heavy knife.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade and skewer them on the stalks. Grill the shrimp until firm and pink, 2 or 3 minutes per side. Garnish with cilantro, then serve hot with a sauce and the lime wedges.

LEMON, GARLIC AND BASIL SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk lemon juice with oil, mustard, garlic and lemon peel.
• Add shrimp and stir to coat.
• Marinate, covered and refrigerated, for about 45 minutes.
• Grease grill and preheat barbecue to high.
• Thread shrimp onto skewers and sprinkle both sides lightly with salt.
• Place on grill and barbecue until shrimp are pink, about 1½ to 2 minutes a side.
• Remove, place on a platter and sprinkle with basil.

SALT & PEPPER PRAWNS WITH LEMON-GRASS MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• To make the mayonnaise, combine the water, lemon grass and lime rind in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Cook for 5 minutes or until liquid has reduced to 1 tablespoonful. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
• Strain the lemon-grass mixture through a fine sieve into a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise and basil and stir to combine.
• Thread the prawns, tail-end first, onto the bamboo skewers.
• Preheat a barbecue grill on high. Combine the Sichuan pepper, black pepper and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle the pepper mixture over the prawns and cook on grill for 1-2 minutes each side or until prawns change colour. Transfer to a serving platter. Serve with lemon-grass mayonnaise and lime wedges.

LEMON GRASS SKEWERED SHRIMP
