Make cooking prawns over coals easier by dropping them into a parcel with a dash of sherry, chilli and garlic. Serve with crusty bread

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

100g butter
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 red chilli, sliced
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
80ml dry sherry
600g extra-large raw tiger prawns, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, halved
1 handful of flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and chopped
crusty bread, to serve

Steps:

  • Light the barbecue. Meanwhile, put the butter, olive oil, garlic, chilli, paprika and sherry in a small pan set over a high heat. Season well and bubble for 2 mins.
  • Put a square 45cm sheet of foil shiny-side down on a work surface. Lay an equal-sized sheet of baking parchment on top, then fold the foil and parchment in half together, with the foil on the outer side. Seal at the shorter sides by folding the edges over a few times and pressing them firmly. Spoon the prawns into the parcel through the open top and pour in the melted butter mixture. Fold the parcel edges together along the open top to seal it fully.
  • When the coals of the barbecue are ashen, place the parcel directly on the grill and cook for 15 mins, carefully turning it once or twice. The prawns will be nearly ready when the parcel begins to puff up with steam. Remove the parcel from the barbecue, open it up carefully and tip the prawns and buttery juices into a serving bowl. Squeeze over one of the lemon halves and sprinkle with the parsley. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges. Serve the prawns with the lemon wedges for squeezing over and crusty bread on the side for mopping up the juices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh prawns: Fresh prawns have a sweeter and more delicate flavor than frozen prawns. If you can, try to buy prawns that are still alive.
  • Clean the prawns properly: Make sure to remove the heads, shells, and veins from the prawns before cooking them. This will help to ensure that the prawns are clean and free of any grit or dirt.
  • Marinate the prawns: Marinating the prawns in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, sherry, and herbs will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender.
  • Cook the prawns quickly: Prawns cook very quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Overcooked prawns will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the prawns immediately: Prawns are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Garlicky prawns with sherry is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
