Broiled Lemon And Garlic Tiger Prawns Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven on broiler setting. With a sharp knife, remove tails from prawns and butterfly them from the underside. Arrange prawns on broiler pan.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter with garlic and lemon juice. Pour 1/4 butter mixture in a small bowl and brush onto prawns. Sprinkle all the prawns with parmesan cheese.
• Place broiler pan on top rack and broil prawns for 4-5 minutes or until done. Serve with remaining butter mixture for dipping.

Steps:

• Rinse the prawns in a colander, remove their heads and leave them to drain.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic and fry over a low heat for 2 to 3 minutes (Cook the prawns in a large frying pan or cast iron flamproof dish that can be taken directly to the table, so that they retain their heat until they are served).
• Add the lime rind and juice.
• Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more.
• Add the prawns and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn pink.
• Remove them from the heat, sprinkle with coriander and serve with the warm tortillas.
• Give each guest a finger bowl filled with water and a slice of lemon, for cleaning their fingers after shelling the prawns, and provide lots of paper napkins!

Steps:

• Snip through shells of shrimp along middle of back using kitchen shears, exposing vein and leaving tail and adjoining segment of shell intact. Devein shrimp, leaving shells in place.
• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with salt using a large heavy knife or a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a blender along with lemon juice and pepper and blend until smooth. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream, blending until emulsified. Transfer dressing to a bowl and stir in chopped oregano.
• Prepare grill for cooking over direct heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
• Toss shrimp with 1/4 cup dressing in a large bowl and marinate no more than 15 minutes. (Texture of shrimp will change if marinated too long.)
• Lightly brush lemon wedges with some of remaining dressing and grill, turning over once, until grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large platter.
• Grill shrimp on lightly oiled grill rack (covered only if using a gas grill), turning over once, until just cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to platter with lemons as grilled. Serve with remaining dressing.
