Hot Spiced Prawns Recipes

Steps:

• Shell and devein the prawns, leave the tails on if you want.
• Combine all the ingredients for the marinade, add the prawns, mix well, cover, put in the fridge and marinate preferably overnight.
• When ready to cook, heat the oil in a non-stick pan and stir fry the prawns until cooked, you better do this in batches.

Steps:

• Tip the rice into a pan of boiling, salted water and simmer for 10 minutes, adding the peas for the last 3 minutes. Drain well.
• While the rice is cooking, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add the onion and bacon and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, until the onion starts to turn golden and the bacon begins to cook. Stir in the curry paste and cook for a few seconds, then tip in the prawns and heat them through for a minute or so.
• Push the prawn mixture to one side of the pan and add the drop of oil to the other side. Pour the egg into the oil, stir until cooked like scrambled eggs, then mix into the prawns. Add the rice and peas and mix well. Serve immediately, with soy sauce for sprinkling, if you like.

Steps:

• Mix the breadcrumbs, chilli powder, cumin, crushed chillies, if using, and lime zest with ½ tsp salt and lots of black pepper. Spread over a plate. Toss the prawns in the flour, then dip them into the egg and then into the crumbs. Shake off excess crumbs. Can be chilled in one layer for up to one day ahead.
• When ready to cook, heat a few centimetres of oil in a large, deep frying pan. The oil is hot enough when a few crumbs tipped into it sizzle and turn brown. Fry the prawns in batches for 2 mins, turning halfway, until the crumbs are crisp and golden all over. Lift them onto kitchen paper to drain (they will keep in a low oven for 15 mins if necessary), then serve on a warm plate, with lime wedges scattered around. Mix the lime juice and coriander into the mayonnaise and serve alongside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spread enough of the salsa to evenly cover the bottom of a 16-by-10-by-2-inch baking dish. Season prawns with hot pepper mix and salt and place them, in a single layer, slightly overlapping, over the saltsa. Sprinkle with pepper-breadcrumb mixture. Drizzle with half of the olive oil and transfer to oven.
• Roast until prawns become pinkish-white in color and breadcrumbs are golden brown. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining olive oil; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan; add the garlic and sauté gently for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the paprika, cumin and ginger; stir to combine.
• Stir in prawns, salt and cilantro. Stir-fry for 5 minutes or until the prawns turn pink.
• Serve over hot rice.
