PEEL AND EAT SHRIMP WITH SPICY COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix ingredients for your brine, be sure that all the salt and sugar are completely dissolved before adding shrimp or other spices (very important!) Place shrimp into a bowl with brine, add whatever extra you choose, and refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Don't go any longer or they will start to become a bit too salty.
• While shrimp are brining, place tomatoes, chili sauce, horseradish, sugar, pepper, and salt in food processor and blend until smooth.
• Refrigerate cocktail sauce until ready to serve.
• Place a baking sheet covered with foil on broiler pan under oven broiler and preheat for 5 minutes.
• (My boiler is small and awkward. When making larger batches of this, I've put the shrimp onto the top shelf of my oven on its highest setting).
• Remove shrimp from brine and drain thoroughly.
• Rinse the shrimp under cold water to remove the brine and dry on paper towels- important step, do not skip it!
• In a large bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, (I use a mister to coat them evenly) and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, if desired.
• Place shrimp onto the heated sheet pan and return to broiler immediately.
• After 2 minutes, check your shrimp.
• They should be truning slightly pink and the meat should be separating from where they were deveined.
• Turn the shrimp with a pair of tongs.
• Return the shrimp to broiler for 1 minute.
• Transfer shrimp to a cool bowl or cookie sheet and refrigerate immediately.
• Once shrimp have chilled, serve with cocktail sauce.
• These shrimp are great served warm right from the oven too.
• I usually can't wait until they chill before I eat them!

CAJUN-STYLE PRAWN COCKTAIL

Steps:

• First, combine all the ingredients for the Cajun seasoning. Mix the prawns with the buttermilk and 3 tbsp of the Cajun seasoning in a large bowl, then set aside.
• To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Season and set aside. Combine all the ingredients for the coating in a separate bowl with the remaining Cajun seasoning and a pinch of salt, then set aside.
• Take one prawn at a time, gently shake off any excess buttermilk mixture, then dip into the coating using a fork, turning to ensure it is fully covered before transferring to a plate. Leave to rest for 15 mins.
• Fill each glass almost to the top with lettuce, then spoon 2 tbsp of the sauce into each. Divide the avocado slices between four martini glasses, arranging them in a fan against the rim of each glass, so the tops are sticking up over the rims.
• Heat a 10cm depth of oil in a shallow saucepan or deep-fat fryer until it reaches 180C, or when a cube of bread dropped into the oil browns within 20 seconds. Fry the coated prawns in batches of 10 for 4-5 mins per batch until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper using a slotted spoon and leave to drain. Repeat until all the prawns are cooked, then season with salt and divide between the glasses. Sprinkle over the chives.

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Add the lemon juice, olive oil, Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the shrimp and toss to coat them in the spice mixture. Allow the shrimp to marinate while you make the remoulade. Do not marinate shrimp longer than 20 minutes.
• For the remoulade: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun spice, ketchup, mustard, parsley, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a bowl and whisk to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
