Nothing is more enjoyable than grilling fresh prawns. The sauce in this recipe accents the sweetness of the prawns to make a stunning dish. Ingredients:
1 pound jumbo prawns |
2 tablespoons cooking oil |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
2 tablespoons thinly sliced lemon grass |
5 fresh thai chile peppers, sliced thin |
1 shallot, sliced thin |
2 kaffir lime leaves |
1 tablespoon fish sauce, or to taste |
1 lime, juiced |
1 tablespoon thai roasted chilli paste (nam prik pao) |
1 tablespoon torn fresh mint leaves |
Directions:
1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate.
2. Cook the shrimp on the hot grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. Arrange the prawns on a serving platter.
3. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the garlic in the hot oil until brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir the lemon grass, chile peppers, shallot, lime leaves, fish sauce, lime juice, and chilli paste into the garlic; toss to combine. Spoon the sauce over the prawns. Garnish with the mint to serve.
