Ginger Prawns Recipes

Steps:

• Place shallots, ginger, garlic, soy, lime juice, and sugar in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the green onion and oil and blend until combined. Season with black pepper, to taste. Place shrimp in a large bowl, pour the marinade over, and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to high. Remove shrimp from the marinade and grill for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Serve on brown paper bags, if desired.

Steps:

• Put the prawns in a bowl. Put the chilli, garlic, coriander stalks (snip these up using scissors first) and caster sugar in a spice grinder or small food processor and whizz together. Add half of the lime juice and the fish sauce, then pour this over the prawns.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok, add the ginger and spring onions and fry for 1 min. Add the red pepper and fry for 1 min, until the pepper starts to soften. Add the water chestnuts and bean sprouts, and toss together until the bean sprouts start to wilt. Add the soy sauce and a really good grind of black pepper, then tip the lot into a serving dish.
• Heat the remaining oil in the wok and add the prawns, lifting them out of their juices. Toss for 1-2 mins until they turn pink, add the marinade and swirl the wok quickly, then tip the lot onto the veg. Snip over the coriander leaves and sprinkle on the remaining lime. Serves over noodles with extra lime for squeezing over.

Steps:

• Heat a pan of water until boiling. Tip in the broccoli and cook for just 1 min - it should still have a good crunch. Meanwhile, mix the stem ginger and syrup, soy sauce, garlic and finely chopped chilli.
• Toast the sesame seeds in a dry wok or large frying pan. When they're nicely browned, turn up the heat and add the oil, prawns and cooked broccoli. Stir-fry for a few mins until the prawns turn pink. Pour over the ginger sauce, then tip in the beansprouts. Cook for 30 seconds, or until the beansprouts are heated thoroughly, adding a splash more soy or ginger syrup, if you like. Scatter with the sliced chilli and serve over rice or noodles.

Steps:

• Heat a wok to very hot and add the vegetable oil.
• Blend water and cornflour.
• Add the prawns, garlic, ginger and chilli and stir-fry until the prawns change colour.
• Remove with slotted spoon and set to one side.
• Add the stock and bring to the boil, add the soy sauce and the blended cornflour/water mix, stir until thickens.
• Add the spring onions and the prawns and heat through.
• Fold through the herbs and serve with steamed rice.

Steps:

• Heat the wok until very hot, add the oil and swirl to coat.
• Stir-fry the prawns, garlic, ginger, chilli and cilantro root in two batches for 1-2 minutes over high heat, or until the prawns turn pink. Remove all the prawns from the wok and set aside.
• Add the spring onion and capsicum to the wok and cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes, then add the lemon juice, wine & palm sugar.
• Cook until the liquid has reduced by two thirds, add the prawns, sprinkle with fish sauce and toss to heat through.
• Garnish with the coriander (cilantro) leaves and serve.
