Thread: Looking for good prawn recipes.

1kg shelled and deveined king prawns
1 tsp crushed cardomon seeds
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp good quality salt (we only use Maldon Sea Salt, nice waxy texture)

Mix the ingredients and roll the prawns in it coating well, leave for 30 minutes.
Heat 1/2 cup peanut oil mixed with 2 tbs sesame oil in a pan and saute until cooked through, turn once.

We serve on a bed of red rice with a salad of lebanese cucumber, iceberg lettuce and cherry tomato or radish.

Reduce quantity of chilli if you don't like it hot.

Lignum, I'm years too late but I've only just read your recipe and actually tried it. It's a ripper, possibly one of the best I have ever tried. Thanks a million. ''
kind regards, elleburra

Medium size mushroom caps, stalks removed (If its field keep it small otherwise its to overpowering) and place Bug or Prawn meet inside and cover with a good size runny dollop of quality Brei thats been at room temp for a while, wrap in filo and brush with butter and bake until golden brown.

Sauce - Saute some finley chopped shallots in some butter until soft then add some white wine and reduce, add a cup of cream and simmer for four or five min not reducing to much. Puree or sive a large advocado and as soon as the pastry is goldern brown, add Advocado to sauce and stir (dont cook as it will go bitter) and right at the "last minute" just before serving, the most important ingredent, add a good pinch or five of "mild" curry powder (for the taste not the heat, this is important) stir in for 30 seconds no more, then pour onto plate and sit pastrys on and prepare for a major flavor burst
