Jalapeno Tiger Prawn Ginger Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• For the prawns: In a measuring cup, whisk together the agave, sugar, lemon juice and lime juice until the sugar is dissolved. Pour half of the mixture into a large bowl; reserve the rest in the cup for serving. To the marinade in the bowl, add the olive oil, chile flakes, paprika, garlic, ginger, orange zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the prawns, stirring to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
• For the grilled pineapple salsa: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Thread the pineapple cubes onto skewers. Grill until grill marks appear, turning once, 3 minutes per side. Remove the skewers from the heat; turn the heat down to medium.
• Remove the pineapple cubes from the skewers and place in a large bowl, along with the tomatoes, jalapenos, red onions, parsley and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, then set aside.
• For the cilantro crema: Stir together the sour cream, agave, lemon juice and cilantro. Set aside.
• Grill the prawns: Clean and lightly oil the grill grates. Remove the prawns from the marinade and grill, turning once, until grill marks appear and the prawns are cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Serve the prawns drizzled with the reserved marinade and the cilantro crema, and with the pineapple salsa on the side.

Steps:

• Whisk marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Place shrimp in a plastic bag with marinade for 1 to 2 hours and refrigerator. Soak bamboo skewers in water for the same amount of time to prevent burning. Using 2 bamboo skewers skewer the prawns alternating with a scallion pieces and pepper pieces so the brochettes will lay flat and be easy to flip over. Grill on each side for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve.;

Steps:

• Slit open the chillies from top to tail, taking care to leave the stalks intact. Scrape out the seeds. Divide the shredded basil and chopped ginger between the chillies and generously season the chiilies inside.
• Shell the prawns, leaving the tail section intact. Place a whole prawn inside each chilli, leaving the tail poking out of the pointed end. Smear a little butter on top of each prawn, then squeeze the chillies together to enclose the prawns.
• Thread 3 chillies, alternating colours, onto 2 short, parallel bamboo skewers so that the chillies look like the rungs of a ladder - you will need to soak the skewers for 20 minutes before using them. Repeat to make 8 ladders.
• Cook the chillies over fairly hot coals for about 5 minutes, turning frequently until they are softened and a little charred, and the prawns are cooked through. Serve with wedges of lemon. Delicious.
