Ingredients

Spiced Tomato Saltsa
24 jumbo prawns or shrimp, heads on, peeled, deveined, and tails intact
1 1/2 tablespoons Hot Pepper Mix and Hot Pepper Bread Crumb Mix
Coarse salt
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spread enough of the salsa to evenly cover the bottom of a 16-by-10-by-2-inch baking dish. Season prawns with hot pepper mix and salt and place them, in a single layer, slightly overlapping, over the saltsa. Sprinkle with pepper-breadcrumb mixture. Drizzle with half of the olive oil and transfer to oven.
Roast until prawns become pinkish-white in color and breadcrumbs are golden brown. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining olive oil; serve immediately.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 scallions, cut into 3 pieces each and sliced into strips
2 fat cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced thinly
1 (1/2-inch) piece of ginger, peeled, sliced thinly, and cut into strips
2 1/4 pounds shelled raw shrimp
1/3 cup dry sherry
Kosher salt

Steps:

Warm the oil in a large wide saucepan, and throw in the scallions, garlic and ginger.
Stir everything around vigorously until the onions begin to wilt, and then toss in the prawns, stirring again. Cover the pan and let everything cook for about 5 minutes; then, remove the lid and pour in the sherry. Stir again, then cover the pan until the prawns are cooked through and no longer glassy in the middle. Taste; add a sprinkling of salt if you need it. Pour into a large shallow bowl, making sure you don't lose all the bits of onion, garlic and ginger, and take immediately to the table.

Tips:

Use fresh, large prawns for the best flavor and texture.
Devein and clean the prawns before cooking to remove any sand or grit.
Marinate the prawns in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Cook the prawns over medium-high heat until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Do not overcook the prawns, or they will become tough and rubbery.
Serve the prawns immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as cocktail sauce or tartar sauce.
Garnish the prawns with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for a pop of color and flavor.

Hot spiced prawns are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner.
