SATE PRAWNS (SHRIMP)



Sate Prawns (Shrimp) image

This is a combination of two sate recipes from the Australian Womens Weekly Chinese Cookbook circa 1970's. We use Jimmy's Sate sauce which is a bean based sate with peanuts but they are not the predominate flavour or ingredient. Have not included time for peeling prawns but it takes me about 30 to 40 minutes to peel a kilo (the larger the prawns the quicker to peel). We have also used this recipe to make beef sate which takes a little longer to cook, we use rump which I pound out and cut into small bite size squares.

SATE PRAWNS (SHRIMP)



Sate Prawns (Shrimp) image

This is from the Australian Women's Weekly Chinese cookbook circa early 70's and a recipe the DH and I love. It does not produce a lot of sauce but is lovely served over rice or we like to serve in the traditional manner as explained in the recipe directions.. Please note most of the preparation time is taken up in peeling and preparing prawns, the larger your prawns the shorter the prep time but we like to use small river prawns so it usually takes me about an hour to peel and prep but when I use large king prawns it usually only takes 30 to 40 minutes.

Time 1h8m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 kg prawns (raw or green)
3 medium onions
3 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons satay sauce (we use Jimmy's a bean based sate sauce)
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon curry powder (I use a hot Madras)
1 teaspoon cornflour (cornstarch)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry

Steps:

  • Shell prawns - using point of small knife, cut each prawn down back and remove back vein and then make deep slit down back of prawn, taking care not to cut right through.
  • Combine marinade ingredients in bowl, add the prawns, mix well and stand for 2 hours.
  • Peel onion, cut in half then cut each half in wedges.
  • Heat oil in large pan or wok, add onions, saute until transparent, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Add prawns and marinade mix to wok, saute until prawns have turned light pink and prawns are cooked, approximately 3 minutes, add water and mix well.
  • Suggested you serve by arranging lettuce leaves around edge of plate and spoon prawns over or to serve in the traditional style, place small metal bowl in centre of prawns and fill with warmed brandy and set alight and pick up a prawn with chopsticks (we use fondue forks) and hold over brandy flame to heat and flavour prawns as for barbecue prawns.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large prawns or shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Smaller shrimp can be used, but they will need to be cooked for a shorter amount of time.
  • Marinate the prawns or shrimp in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs before cooking. This will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender.
  • Cook the prawns or shrimp over high heat until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the prawns or shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include peanut sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and chili sauce.
  • If you are using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Be careful when handling the skewers, as they can be sharp.
  • Enjoy your delicious prawn or shrimp satay!
