Chili Prawns Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter and oil together in a frying pan. Add the garlic, chilli and paprika, then fry for 1-2 mins until starting to turn golden. Turn up the heat, throw in the prawns and fry for a few mins, stirring, until all the prawns turn pink. Take off the heat, season and stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
• Add some lemon slices to a finger bowl of warm water, grab a bowl for the shells, then dig straight in with your fingers and hunks of crusty bread.

Steps:

• Stir the chicken stock, ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sweet chili-garlic sauce together in a small bowl.
• Heat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the oil and swirl to coat the sides. Add the garlic, ginger, shallot and chili. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until they turn pink and curl slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute. While stirring in a circular motion, slowly pour in the beaten egg. This will create egg "flowers". Turn off the heat, scoop the contents of the wok onto a platter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1 In a small frying pan, dry-fry the chillies and garlic until blackened, about 5 mins on a medium heat. Remove and deseed the chillies and take off any loose skin. Peel the garlic, then put in a blender with the chillies, tomato purée, chilli flakes, vinegar, paprika and oil. Add 3 tbsp water and some salt, and blend until fine.
• Cut a slit in the back of each prawn about 5cm long, and devein. Toss them with half the marinade, then thread them onto metal skewers, or wooden ones that have been soaked for 10 mins. Heat an outdoor barbecue or use a griddle pan. Grill until deep lines appear, about 5 mins each side, or until the shells turn a deep pink. Serve with the leftover marinade and the lemon wedges to squeeze over.
