Spiced Prawns With Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add the scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the rice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the bay leaf, increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Stir a few times, cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 17 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, zest the lemon into a large mixing bowl and add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, the hot sauce and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined. Gently stir in half of the parsley, reserving the remaining parsley for garnish. Cut the zested lemon into wedges and reserve.
• Sprinkle the shrimp liberally with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and some salt and cook, shaking the skillet frequently, until the tomatoes just start to pop, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the mixing bowl with the butter. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Add the shrimp and cook until the bottoms turn pink, about 1 1/2 minutes; flip and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Add the shrimp to the tomatoes and toss gently to coat everything with the butter and mush the tomatoes a bit more.
• Fluff the rice and stir in the scallion greens. Divide the rice among 4 dinner plates, top with the shrimp, tomatoes and sauce, scatter the remaining parsley leaves over the top and put a lemon wedge on each plate. Serve immediately, with extra hot sauce.

Steps:

• Heat a pot of water to a boil. Peel and devein the shrimp. Put the shells into another pot along with the carrot, celery, onion, sherry and rice vinegars, 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
• While the stock is cooking, mix the shrimp with the shrimp boil spice and refrigerate. Make an ice bath by placing ice cubes and cold water in a bowl. Once the pot of water is boiling, blanch the tomatoes for 30 seconds, remove with a slotted spoon and quickly cool in the ice bath. Work in a few batches so you don't overcook the tomatoes. Peel the tomatoes and set aside.
• Put 1 cup water, the sugars, pinch of cloves and 2 tablespoons salt in a saucepot and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Strain the shrimp stock and keep warm. Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator. Place a saute pan on high heat, add the oil, then the shrimp and cook for 1 minute. Add the stock and cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Serve the shrimp with the ketchup on the side.

Steps:

• For salsa, combine tomatoes, avocado, spring onion, chilli, coriander, garlic, lime juice and oil in a bowl and season with salt and pepper (you may make this upto 3 hours in advance. Cover tightly with cling film and refrigerate).
• You will need 4 wooden skewers soaked in water for atleast 20 minutes to stop them from burning.
• In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, paprika, chilli powder, lime juice and salt.
• Add in the prawns and toss to coat evenly.
• Thread 5 prawns onto each skewer, cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes (you may marinate the prawns upto 2 hours in advance).
• Pre-heat indoor grill to medium-hot, or for outdoor grills, medium-hot coals.
• Grill the prawns until they are pink and the flesh is opaque, about 3 minutes on each side.
• Serve hot with salsa and/or grilled lime wedges.

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:

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil then add the chopped onions, ginger, garlic and cardamom and fry gently for about 10 minutes till softened and light-golden brown.
• Then add in the spices and stir and cook for another 10 minutes (you may pour in a little water if you find the spices sticking to the bottom of the pan).
• Add in the prawns and stir them so they are evenly coated with the spice mixture then add in the chopped tomatoes and season with salt and bring it to a simmering point.
• Then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 20-25 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally, by which time most of the liquid will have evaporated and the tomatoes will have reduced to a thick sauce.
• Remove from heat and garnish with chopped coriander and serve straight away.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine spice blend, ginger, garlic, scallion whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add shrimp and toss well. Heat a large skillet over high heat, then add the oil. Add the tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the whole tomatoes burst and the halved ones start to wrinkle, about 2 minutes.
• Add shrimp mixture and sauté for another 2 to 4 minutes, turning the shrimp, until they are pink all over.
• Gently stir in butter and cook for another minute, until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove from heat and add a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Taste and add more salt and spices, if needed. Garnish with mint and scallion greens and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Prepare Ahead: Pat the prawns dry with kitchen paper. Peel the garlic and finely chop. Halve the chilli, discard the seeds and finely chop. Mix the garlic, chilli and prawns. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a pan, add the prawns and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until pink. Tip into a bowl and leave to cool, then chill for up to 8 hours.
• Quarter the tomatoes and discard the seeds. Finely chop the flesh and tip into a bowl with the lemon juice, honey and remaining oil. Add coriander, season and whisk until slightly thickened. Cover and chill for up to 8 hours.
• On The Day: Tear the gem leaves into small pieces. Chop the avocado flesh. Fill six glasses with lettuce, avocado and rocket leaves. Pile the prawns on top and spoon over the dressing. Serve with Italian flatbread or toasted pittas.

Steps:

• Put the oil, shallots and a good grind of pepper in a large, cold frying pan. Place over a low heat and slowly cook for 10 mins, stirring regularly, until softened.
• Add the chorizo to the shallots, turn up the heat (but not too much) and colour a little. When the orange oil is released into the pan, add the tomatoes and a good pinch of salt. Stir over a medium heat - the tomatoes should literally melt in about 10 mins. If the sauce is not bubbling, turn up the heat a little. Add 100ml water and bring to the boil. Gently simmer for a few mins more.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Add the prawns to the sauce, bring back to the boil and cook for 1 min until the prawns change colour. Drain the pasta and stir into the sauce with the spring onion whites. Cook and stir for 1 min. Serve sprinkled with the spring onion greens.

• Place 1 shrimp lengthwise on short end of 1 strip and roll up, leaving head and tail exposed; then roll up 14 more shrimp. Arrange, seams down, 1/2-inch apart, on a buttered baking sheet.
