SPICY SWEET SPOT PRAWN MARINADE



Spicy Sweet Spot Prawn Marinade image

Every summer I leave Seattle and go up to my family home in British Columbia. While we do a lot of fishing for salmon and foraging for oysters and clams, my favorite seafood we acquire are the spot prawns. We catch them in traps set down nearly 400 feet and they are the most delicious shellfish I have ever had. No de-veining necessary and perhaps, just perhaps, better than lobster. I separate our catch by size and freeze them in bags in the ocean water they came out of. When I want to have a taste of summer I use this marinade. Delish!

From Caper's Community Market, via the Vancouver Sun. Spot Prawns are native to the BC coast and are DELICIOUS! They are meaty, yet tender compared to tiger prawns etc. This sounds very good.

SPICY SPOT PRAWN MAYO

This mayo is an ingredient in "Thetis Queen" Albacore Tuna Tacones. Both these receipes are a delicious find from a Victoria restaurant, Red Fish, Blue Fish. http://www.redfish-bluefish.com/ Be warned, this stuff is highly addictive! (The original recipe calls for sriracha which isn't a listed ingredient here, so I subbed Thai Hot Sauce.)
