Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for grill
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
12 head-on, tail-on prawns or jumbo shrimp (1 1/2-2 pounds)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Flaky sea salt
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

Prepare grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Combine garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes, and 4 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl.
Working one at a time, use kitchen shears to cut along the length of the back of each prawn just deep enough into flesh to expose vein; remove. Toss prawns with remaining 2 tablespoons oil in another medium bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper.
Grill prawns, turning occasionally, until shells are bright red and meat is cooked through (it will look slightly opaque), about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with garlic-parsley mixture and toss to coat; season with kosher salt and pepper. Transfer prawns to a serving platter and pour garlic-parsley mixture over; sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 pound tiger prawns, peeled and deveined
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup tomato-based chili sauce
⅓ cup pomegranate juice
3 tablespoons Sriracha hot pepper sauce
¼ cup hot ketchup
¾ cup ketchup
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Dredge prawns in flour, then fry in the hot oil until golden. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Tips:

To devein the prawns, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the prawn, from the head to the tail. Remove the vein, which is a thin, black line. Rinse the prawns under cold water to remove any remaining grit.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the prawns in a skillet over medium-high heat. Just be sure to keep an eye on them so they don't overcook. You can also cook the prawns in a hot oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
Serve the prawns immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include garlic butter, cocktail sauce, and tartar sauce.
For a more flavorful dish, marinate the prawns in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
If you're using frozen prawns, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.

Conclusion:

Chile prawns are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're grilling them outdoors or cooking them in a skillet, these prawns are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give chile prawns a try!
