Best 3 Large Prawn Recipes

PAN-COOKED GIANT PRAWNS

Steps:

• 1. Trim and finely slice the chilli and spring onions. Peel, devein and butterfly the prawns.
• 2. Get yourself a large paella pan, casserole pan, wok or sturdy roasting tin. Place over a medium-high heat and pour in 3 tablespoons of oil. 3. Once hot, add the prawns and cook for a few minutes to allow them to colour, then sprinkle over the sliced chilli and spring onions. 4. Add the snow peas and give the pan a good shake, then add a splash of water. Pop a lid or some tin foil on top and let everything steam for 1 minute. Place a griddle pan on a medium heat to warm up. 5. Meanwhile, roughly chop the tomatoes. Remove the lid (or foil) from the pan and add the peas and tomatoes, then drain and add the beans. Stir everything together and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Season to taste. 6. Pick and roughly chop the parsley leaves, discarding the stalks, then add to the pan with the juice from 1 lemon, adding a squeeze or two more, if needed. 7. Grill the bread on the hot griddle for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until nicely golden. Divide everything between 4 plates, then tuck in. This is delicious served with rice or couscous, if you prefer.

GRILLED GIANT PRAWNS WITH LEMON AND BASIL

Steps:

• Wash prawns and pat dry. Using kitchen shears, snip down the centre back of each shell to the tail. Do not remove the shell. With a sharp knife, cut a deep slit lengthwise down the centre of the meat, but do not cut all the way through to the legs. Remove the vein. With a microplane or fine grater zest one of the lemons. Slice the other lemon into wedges and set aside for garnish. In a small bowl, toss the zest, basil, parsley and salt to combine. Add the garlic and canola oil, then crush mixture with a fork to release the flavours. Divide the herb mixture into four equal portions and press into the slits of the four prawns. Grill prawns over medium heat until the shells turn pink and the meat becomes opaque. Take care not to let the shells burn. Serve with lemon wedges.

THE BEST GARLIC SHRIMP IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD

Steps:

• In a large Ziplock freezer bag, mix everything except the butter and swish it around good to coat all of the shrimp. Or, mix everything in a large bowl and cover TIGHTLY with Saran wrap.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat large heavy bottom pan with the butter in it on medium. Toss shrimp around for about 10 minutes until pink and lightly browned.
• TIPS: Do not substitute with garlic powder OR dried parsley! Sea salt is stronger than table salt so use less than normal. Table salt can be substituted.
• Serve with steak or pasta with a white sauce.
