Garlic Prawns

The other day my daddy bought these fresh prawns and usually we do a spicy curry, Fry, spicy grilled prawns with it to accompany rice / roti. But prawns taste amazing when made with just few ingredients. Prawns and garlic are best friends. They create amazing flavors with let to play. This dish has some fresh flavors and are made in no time. Make it more special with a final drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and serve with a crusty bread. 

You Will Need:

500g Prawns, Cleaning with tails intact and divined

5 Large Cloves of garlic, Grated / Very Finely Chopped

Little Ginger, Grated

Juice from Half a Lemon

1 tsp of Red Chilli Flakes

Some Freshly Chopped Coriander Leaves / Parsley 

Salt to taste

3 - 4 tbsp of Olive oil / Butter 

The Cooking:

Heat oil / butter on a non stick pan. Once hot add the garlic and ginger. Saute on medium heat for few mins making sure not to brown the garlic. Add the chilli flakes and saute for a min. Then tumble in the prawns, add the lemon juice and season with salt. Cook on high till the prawns are pink and cooked through. Prawns cook quick so just few mins on high will do. Finally sprinkle chopped coriander / parsley and serve hot.

Amma's Recipe #21

Should I really tell you how delicious and mouth watering this dish is? You should see my keyboard when I was making this post. Drools!!! Its quick, simple and irresistible. Perfect as a side to rasam or with any curry and a fab appetizer.

You Will Need:

A kilo of Prawns, Washed and Deveined 

1 tsp Red Chilli Powder

1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder

2 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste

1 Whole Egg

Juice of a Lime

2 tbsp Cornflour

1 tbsp Rice Flour

Salt to Taste

Few Curry Leaves

The Cooking:

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and marinate for an hour at least.

Heat oil in a heavy bottom kadai and add the marinated prawns once the oil is hot. Prawns cook quickly so take them out after a few mins once the masala is cooked. Leaving them for long will make them hard. 

Place them on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil and serve with lime wedges.

Happy Cooking!

Moroccan Spicy Grilled Prawns

I must confess, I have never eaten anything Moroccan in my life. But I have seen a lot of food shows showcasing the Moroccan Cuisine and I must say that's one of the most delicious cuisines across the globe. The spices and herbs of Moroccan cuisine have such an intense flavour and I totally fell in love with it. And that led to my first try with Moroccan Cuisine. MOROCCAN SPICY GRILLED PRAWNS with MOROCCAN YOGURT DIP...Ah I just love the way "Moroccan" sounds ;) 

This is a very easy recipe to follow and the flavours were amazing. You can make these on grills if you have one or simple put them on a hot tawa over the stove (that's how I made these) The grilled prawns were spicy and the yogurt dip sweet and tangy was just right for each other. After making these grilled prawns am looking forward to try more dishes from the Moroccan Cuisine. 

You Will Need:

Serves 2

500gms Prawns, Large 

Honey for Glazing

Metal Skewers / Bamboo Skewers (Soak them in water for 30 mins)

Marinade:

1 tsp Cumin Powder

1/2 tsp Coriander Powder

1/4 tsp Clove Powder

1/4 tsp Cardamom Powder

1/4 tsp Cinnamon Powder

1/2 tsp Paprika 

1 Finely Chopped Green Chilli 

1 Clove Garlic. Finely Grated

1/4 tsp Ginger Powder

Pinch Nutmeg 

1 tsp Olive Oil

Juice of Half a Lime

Salt to Taste

For the Moroccan Yogurt Dip:

1/2 Cup Hung Curd

1/2 tsp Cumin Powder

1/4 tsp Paprika

1/2 tsp Finely Chopped Mint Leaves

1 tsp Lime Juice

A dash of Honey

The Grilling:

For the Prawns:

Wash and devein the prawns. Place them in a bowl and add all the ingredients for the marinade. Let it sit for an hour. Meanwhile heat a non stick tawa with a tsp of oil. Skewer the prawns and place them on the hot tawa / grill. 

Let it cook on medium heat for 2 - 3 mins on each side or till they are cooked through. Once they are cooked through, brush little honey on to the prawns. If using a bbq / a grill let it cook for another min. If you are grilling them on a tawa, after brushing the prawns with honey, slightly char them over high flame on the stove. This gives a sweet smoky flavour to the prawns.

For the Yogurt Dip:

In a bowl, whisk all the ingredients together and chill. 

Serve the prawns hot with cooking Yogurt Dip and some lemon wedges!
