Time 50m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 Anaheim chile
Canola oil, for grilling the chile
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 small sweet onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 cup peach preserves
1/2 store bought-barbecue sauce
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup spiced rum
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces baby arugula
2 pounds U-10 prawns, shells on, deveined
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high.
  • For the Cajun dry rub: Combine the salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, granulated onion, paprika and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
  • For the spicy peach bbq sauce: Drizzle the Anaheim chile with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on all side, about 5 minutes total. Cool briefly, and then remove the stem and chop.
  • Put the bacon, onion and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the bacon is slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Stir in the peach preserves and Anaheim chile, then stir in the barbecue sauce, molasses, rum, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Cool; put the sauce into a blender and puree until smooth. Divide the sauce among 2 bowls, reserve one for serving.
  • For the prawns: Line a serving platter with the arugula. Drizzle the prawns with the oil and dust with the Cajun dry rub on all sides. Grill until charred on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the prawns, baste with some of the spicy peach bbq sauce, and cook until the prawns are charred on the second side, about 2 more minutes. Baste, flip, baste again, and pull off the grill.
  • Put the shrimp on top of the arugula and serve immediately with the reserved bowl of spicy peach bbq sauce on the side.

The prawns were a bit overcooked, but the BBQ sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the prawns for a shorter amount of time next time.

The prawns were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I was a little skeptical about the BBQ sauce on prawns, but I was pleasantly surprised! The sauce was tangy and smoky, and it complemented the prawns perfectly. I'll definitely be making these again.
