ZESTY CHILE TIGER PRAWNS
This stir-fry is full of flavour and can be served up in a matter of minutes. The dish was inspired by all the cheap and cheerful seafood places in Hong Kong that I visited, where some of the most amazing seafood was served! I was particularly taken with a garlic prawn dish I ate - the prawns were butterflied (cut in half down the middle of the spine), topped with generous amounts of butter, garlic and spring onions and steamed. My tangy chilli and garlic prawns is inspired by that memorable dish. Make sure you buy raw tiger prawns because if you buy cooked, they will be too chewy when cooked again in this dish.

CARIBBEAN TIGER PRAWNS WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE SALSA
Steps:
- For the prawns: In a measuring cup, whisk together the agave, sugar, lemon juice and lime juice until the sugar is dissolved. Pour half of the mixture into a large bowl; reserve the rest in the cup for serving. To the marinade in the bowl, add the olive oil, chile flakes, paprika, garlic, ginger, orange zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the prawns, stirring to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
- For the grilled pineapple salsa: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- Thread the pineapple cubes onto skewers. Grill until grill marks appear, turning once, 3 minutes per side. Remove the skewers from the heat; turn the heat down to medium.
- Remove the pineapple cubes from the skewers and place in a large bowl, along with the tomatoes, jalapenos, red onions, parsley and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, then set aside.
- For the cilantro crema: Stir together the sour cream, agave, lemon juice and cilantro. Set aside.
- Grill the prawns: Clean and lightly oil the grill grates. Remove the prawns from the marinade and grill, turning once, until grill marks appear and the prawns are cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
- Serve the prawns drizzled with the reserved marinade and the cilantro crema, and with the pineapple salsa on the side.

SPANISH TIGER PRAWNS (SHRIMPS)
I regularly cook these for dinner parties and they remain a firm favourite. I have had to teach numerous friends the recipe and have had the dish cooked for me many times on return invitations. It is important that the prawns are raw, with the heads on, as this is where much of the flavour comes from. Fresh are better, but frozen tiger prawns make a perfectly satisfactory alternative if necessary. Birds-eye chillies are very small, but very hot. During marinading, a small amount of this heat is transferred to the oil and sherry. Be careful not to bite into one of these chilles, though - you will find yourself stuffing your mouth full of bread to numb the burn! I normally serve the dish as a starter, in the pan in the centre of the table and accompanied with lots of fresh French bread for dunking. Wonderfully tasty and typically Spanish.

Steps:
- Mix a count the olive oil and sherry in a shallow dish. Add garlic, chillies, salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon into mixture.
- Remove shells from prawns. Squeeze the heads into the mixture, place the prawns and heads into the mixture and discard the remaining shells. The squeezing of the heads is a very important step and should not be forgotten, however squeemish!
- Ensure the prawns are mostly covered by the mixture. If not, add more sherry and olive oi in equal measures.
- Cover and leave to marinade at cool room temperature for as long as possible, preferably 3 hours. If less time is available, add more garlic and chillies. Mix occasionally to cover the prawns.
- Remove prawns from mixture, leaving heads in the sauce, and place to one side.
- Heat the marinade over a high heat until bubbling and the heads have turned pink.
- Return the raw prawns to the pan and stir until just cooked.
- Remove some heads from the pan if desired, although a few make an attractive addition, and the Spanish traditionally suck any remaining juice from them.
- Serve in the pan in the centre of the table with lots of crust bread for dipping.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest shrimp possible: Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Prepare the shrimp properly: Peel and devein the shrimp, if necessary. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
