MARINATED PRAWNS (SHRIMP) FOR THE BBQ / GRILL

Steps:

• Place prawns in a shallow dish or large plastic ziplock bag.
• Blend together all the remaining ingredients and pour over the prawns. Turn to coat well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• BBQ prawns for 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked. Do not overcook as they will become tough. Baste during the first couple of minutes of cooking time.
• Serve sprinkled with some extra chopped coriander, parsley or shallots with either some rice or a salad.

• Serve with salad.

ICONIC AUSSIE BBQ PRAWNS (SHRIMP)

Steps:

• Mix everything together in a glass or ceramic bowl.
• Marinate for 30 - 60 minutes (while you make a salad, slice the bread, set the table and get the barbie heated up).
• You can either throw the prawns on just like this OR you can thread them onto skewers - either works.
• Cook over a medium heat until the prawns are lovely and orange - don't over cook or they will be woody and chewy.
• Serve with a salad and bread.

NEW ORLEANS-STYLE BARBECUED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots are soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon slices and cook until they begin to brown, about 1 minute longer, then stir in the shrimp, paprika, thyme, black pepper and salt. Add the Worcestershire sauce and 3 tablespoons water and bring the liquid to a simmer.
• Cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the butter cubes and swirl the pan to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer until the shrimp are pink and just opaque all the way through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with lots of napkins and some crusty bread for sopping up the sauce.

GINGER-SOY-LIME MARINATED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place shallots, ginger, garlic, soy, lime juice, and sugar in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the green onion and oil and blend until combined. Season with black pepper, to taste. Place shrimp in a large bowl, pour the marinade over, and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to high. Remove shrimp from the marinade and grill for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Serve on brown paper bags, if desired.

GARLIC AND GINGER PRAWNS OR SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat the wok until very hot, add the oil and swirl to coat.
• Stir-fry the prawns, garlic, ginger, chilli and cilantro root in two batches for 1-2 minutes over high heat, or until the prawns turn pink. Remove all the prawns from the wok and set aside.
• Add the spring onion and capsicum to the wok and cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes, then add the lemon juice, wine & palm sugar.
• Cook until the liquid has reduced by two thirds, add the prawns, sprinkle with fish sauce and toss to heat through.
• Garnish with the coriander (cilantro) leaves and serve.

GRILLED GINGER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except shrimp, in a medium bowl. Stir well to dissolve. Add shrimp and stir to coat. Cover and place in refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
• Put 3-5 shrimp per skewer, depending on size. Grill on lightly oiled hot grill until done - approximately 2 minutes per side. Large shrimp may not require skewers and be placed individually on the grill.
• Transfer to serving plate and serve hot or warm.
