PRAWNS/SHRIMP WITH MARYAM ZAIRA SAUCE - NIGELLA LAWSON

OK, so this is the idea: sauce Marie Rose goes Moroccan. Instead of the usual tomato ketchup (well, be honest) I dollop in some good bought harissa. It works wonderfully, and the honey makes up for the sugar you lack by giving up the ketchup. Be careful when you buy harissa though, as not only does it vary enormously in strength but also some jars that bear the name are not really harissa but some paste made red with beetroot and carrot. Check the back of the tub for ingredients. I used a gorgeously mild harissa here, a rose harissa, that I find poetically desirable. But start with a small amount of the harissa before working up to the amount I have stipulated below. I love prawns/shrimp with their shell still on; a bit of DIY at the table always seems to help the atmosphere. But if you hate mess and can't bear the sight of seeing people dropping shells all over the place and haven't got time for treatment, then simply buy peeled prawns/shrimp instead.

OK, so this is the idea: sauce Marie Rose goes Morroccan. Instead of the usual tomato ketchup (well, be honest) I dollop in some good bought harissa.

This is a great easy prawn marinade, they are great on the BBQ, we put them out as appetizers but they can also be a main course. I've also sauteed them with the marinade and used the sauce with pasta or just lapped it up with French bread! ENJOY.

Tips:

  • Use fresh prawns: Fresh prawns have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen prawns. If you must use frozen prawns, thaw them properly before cooking.
  • Clean the prawns thoroughly: Remove the heads, shells, and tails from the prawns. Then, devein the prawns by making a shallow cut along the back of each prawn and removing the dark vein.
  • Marinate the prawns: Marinating the prawns in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and oil will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the prawns properly: Prawns cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Cook the prawns until they are just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the prawns immediately: Prawns are best served immediately after cooking. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.
