Broiled Lemon And Garlic Tiger Prawns Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven on broiler setting. With a sharp knife, remove tails from prawns and butterfly them from the underside. Arrange prawns on broiler pan.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter with garlic and lemon juice. Pour 1/4 butter mixture in a small bowl and brush onto prawns. Sprinkle all the prawns with parmesan cheese.
• Place broiler pan on top rack and broil prawns for 4-5 minutes or until done. Serve with remaining butter mixture for dipping.

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!

Steps:

• Position an oven rack about 8 to 10 inches from the broiler and preheat. Grate the lemon zest and combine in a small bowl with the butter, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Mash with a fork to make a smooth paste.
• With your fingers, gently loosen the skin on the chicken breasts, legs and thighs. Spread the flavored butter under the skin as evenly as possible. Halve the lemons and squeeze 2 halves over the chicken; season with salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken skin-side up on a broiler pan (or a rack on a baking sheet). Position the halves about 2 inches apart with the thick parts of the legs facing the center. Arrange the remaining 2 lemon halves cut-side down next to the chicken.
• Broil the chicken until the skin is light brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. If the chicken browns too quickly, lower the oven rack. Flip the chicken and the lemons and continue to broil until almost cooked through (a thermometer inserted into the thickest part will register 160 degrees), about 15 minutes. Remove the lemons, if browned; turn the chicken again and broil until the skin is brown and crisp and the thermometer registers 165 degrees, about 2 more minutes. Serve the chicken with the broiled lemons for squeezing on top.

Steps:

• Wash prawns and pat dry. Using kitchen shears, snip down the centre back of each shell to the tail. Do not remove the shell. With a sharp knife, cut a deep slit lengthwise down the centre of the meat, but do not cut all the way through to the legs. Remove the vein. With a microplane or fine grater zest one of the lemons. Slice the other lemon into wedges and set aside for garnish. In a small bowl, toss the zest, basil, parsley and salt to combine. Add the garlic and canola oil, then crush mixture with a fork to release the flavours. Divide the herb mixture into four equal portions and press into the slits of the four prawns. Grill prawns over medium heat until the shells turn pink and the meat becomes opaque. Take care not to let the shells burn. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In a large bowl stir together the oil, the herbs, the zest, the salt, and the pepper, add the prawns, and toss them to coat them well.
• Let the prawns marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 1 hour or overnight. Stir in the lemon juice, let the mixture stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, and drain the prawns in a fine sieve.
• Grill the herb-coated prawns on a rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals for 3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through. (Alternatively, the prawns may be broiled on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 4 minutes on each side.) Divide the prawns among 8 plates and serve them with the lemon wedges.
