Yield Makes 3-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

18-24 large prawns (large shrimp)
200 g (3/4 cup) butter
10 ml (2 teaspoons) crushed garlic
30 ml (2 tablespoons) lemon juice
30 ml (2 tablespoons) peri-peri sauce (recipe below)
salt, milled black pepper
PERI-PERI SAUCE
50 g (1 1/2 ounces) red chillies, very finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, crushed
500 ml (2 cups) olive oil
pared rind of 1 small lemon (use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin in thin strips)

Steps:

  • PERI-PERI SAUCE
  • Mix the ingredients together in a bottle and shake well. You can make the sauce ahead and store it in the fridge; the flavour improves with age, reaching its peak at two weeks.
  • Slit prawns down their backs and devein. Leave heads on, or remove them if you prefer. Depending on the size of your frying pan, cook them in one or two batches.
  • Heat the butter gently and add the garlic and lemon juice. Don't let the garlic burn. Add prawns and peri-peri sauce. (Shake first to make sure you get some of the chilli and garlic as well.)
  • Sizzle for 4-5 minutes, turning frequently, until cooked. Season with salt and pepper and tip into a warm serving bowl. Garnish, if you wish, with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with rice or bread and butter.

Overall, this is a solid recipe for prawns peri peri. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of chili pepper, such as serrano or habanero.

This prawns peri peri was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use more garlic and chili peppers.

I followed the recipe exactly and the results were disappointing. The prawns were overcooked and the sauce was too spicy.
