Barbecued Prawns With Chilli Lime Cilantro Butter Recipes

CILANTRO AND LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, cream butter. Mix in cilantro, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt to taste. Cover, and chill for at least 1 hour.

BARBECUED PRAWNS WITH CHILLI, LIME & CILANTRO BUTTER

Steps:

• To make the butter, put the garlic, coriander, chilli and lime juice in a food processor and pulse until chopped but not sludgy. Remove 1 tbsp of the mix, toss with the prawns and set aside in the fridge.
• Add the butter and some salt and pepper to the food processor, and pulse again until everything is combined. Scrape out onto a sheet of foil, roll into a sausage and put in the freezer to harden.
• Let prawns marinate and butter harden for about 1/2 hour.
• Heat the barbecue to medium-high. Cook the prawns for 3-4 mins on each side until they turn pink. Lift them off the barbecue onto a platter and, while still sizzling hot, melt thin slices of about half the butter over the prawns. Melt the remaining butter and serve with the prawns to dip into, and lime wedges for squeezing over.

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry then season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and fresh ground black pepper.
• Use a microplane to zest the lime and set aside. Cut the zested lime in half ready for the sauce later in the recipe.
• Add one tablespoon of the butter to a wide skillet. Save the remaining two tablespoons for later.
• Place the skillet with butter over medium heat then add the garlic and coriander. Stir the garlic around the pan until the butter melts and is bubbling; about 1 minute.
• Add the shrimp, nestling them into the pan so that they are in one layer. A few shrimp stacked on top of each other is okay. Cook until the shrimp start to turn pink, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the scallions and lime zest. Continue to cook, stirring, until the shrimp are firm and opaque throughout; another 1 to 2 minutes. Slide the skillet off of the heat.
• With the skillet off of the heat, add the cilantro, juice from the lime and the remaining two tablespoons of butter. Stir the butter around the pan so that it melts into the lime juice making the creamy butter sauce.
• Taste then season as needed with salt and pepper. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.

BUTTERY CHILLI PRAWNS

Steps:

• Melt the butter and oil together in a frying pan. Add the garlic, chilli and paprika, then fry for 1-2 mins until starting to turn golden. Turn up the heat, throw in the prawns and fry for a few mins, stirring, until all the prawns turn pink. Take off the heat, season and stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
• Add some lemon slices to a finger bowl of warm water, grab a bowl for the shells, then dig straight in with your fingers and hunks of crusty bread.

SKEWERED CHILLI, LIME PRAWNS

Steps:

• Add prawns to juice and zest of one lime with olive oil and all ingredients and marinade overnight.
• Put three prawns per skewer, season with salt and pepper, and barbecue.
