Prawns grilled in buttery chili sauce. This is divine. Do try and marinate for several hours it really brings out the flavour although I have made it immediately it is still delicious. Originally taken out of the Indian delights. Because of its high butter content we always have it on special occasions. Ingredients:
1 kg prawns (try to use queen or big ones always better for grilling) |
125 g butter (no substitutes) |
10 ml freshly crushed garlic |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
5 ml red chili pepper flakes (use more if you like it hotter the original recipe has 10ml) |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
salt |
25 ml mayonnaise |
25 ml chili sauce |
15 ml lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Wash and devein prawns but retain the shell. Retaining the shell makes it more tasty. Dry prawns well.
2. Melt butter and add the garlic to to it; mix well.
3. Add rest of the ingredients to butter mixture except prawns.
4. Marinate the prawns in HALF of this marinade for several hours. 2-4hrs is sufficient. (I sometimes add all the sauce if I want it saucy).
5. Place prawns in oven tray and grill till done on 180°C tossing them at intervals.
6. Heat the rest of the marinade until thickens into a sauce pour some of the sauce over the grilling prawns and use the rest as a dipping sauce for prawns. Serve hot. Serve with savoury rice and a salad. You can also substitute prawns with shrimp.
