Any good recipes for GARLIC CHILLI PRAWNS peeps? I have a kilo of these suckers..
Yup - as pic below. I wack the head off and cut in half. Recipe from Beer Masons but I add chilli and lemon thyme and a little parsley. Great to eat just peel the shell back in one go:
BBQ Bugs or prawns with lemon and pernod butter. Serves 4
Beer match: Belgian Real Pils
Ingredients
60g unsalted butter, room temperature
30ml Pernod or other aniseed tipple
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 Green Balmain bugs or 12 large green prawns
Method
Combine all the butter ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready for use.Cut the bug or prawns in half length ways. Lay on a tray shell side down, spoon over the butter liberally, making sure you get it right into the head and between the shell and meat.On a medium BBQ cook the bug or prawns shell side down for a few minutes, don’t over cook as the meat will go tough. Use your best judgement here, the meat should be just white and the butter oozing with goodness.Remove from the grill and season well. Serve with and nice herby green salad and lashings of cold Real Pils.
My dish pic - no boozy shots sorry.
