COCONUT PRAWNS WITH CORIANDER MAYONNAISE



Coconut Prawns With Coriander Mayonnaise image

I served this as a stater to a three course meal I did the other night, I used large king prawns and allowed for 2 per person as a starter. I love coconut prawns and I make them several ways, I think my favourite is a curry dipping sauce I make when doing a larger platter of coconut prawns. As this was for a dinner party and that sauce takes more time, I decided to go for a more simplistic one that I could make quickly without fuss. This sauce still goes very well with the coconut prawns and takes no time at all, if you end up having leftovers this will keep in the fridge and does go well with meats in sandwiches also.

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 large green king prawns
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 tablespoons boiling water
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind

Steps:

  • Shell and devein prawns, leaving tails intact (makes for better presentation, you will notice from my photo Mine do not as I had to buy them already shelled from my fish store so didn't have a choice.).
  • Dip prawns in egg, coat in coconut (I like to double dip so I really get a good coating of coconut, if you do not do this you may need less coconut.)Place prawns on a plate, cover, refrigerate about 20 Min's. Or make ahead of time and store till needed, only same day use though.
  • Heat some oil in a frying pan, add prawns, cook on both sides until browned and crisp. Serve with coriander mayonnaise and over roti, if desired. I served mine over crab and zucchini fritters.
  • Coriander Mayonnaise.
  • Blend turmeric with the water in a small bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. This can be made ahead of time and just stored in the fridge.

GARLIC PRAWNS IN THE MICROWAVE



Garlic Prawns in the Microwave image

Another from the mother in law. I don't leave tails intact, personal preference. Preparation time includes peeling prawns. Spring onions also known as scallions or green onions. UPDATE - thank you to Karen Elizabeth would never have thought to use this as way to cook the prawns to ADD to other dishes such as she did with a vegetable stir fry - great idea, thank you. A PLEASE NOTE - I now have a 900W microwave and I find 3 1/2 to 4 minutes does it, When this recipe was first presented wattages in ovens where very low so the higher wattages today will determine the cooking times.
