ZESTY CHILLI TIGER PRAWNS

Steps:

• Heat a wok until smoking and add the groundnut oil, then add the garlic and chilli and stir fry for a few seconds. Add the prawns, rice wine and lime juice and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the prawns start to turn pink.
• Add the French beans and stir fry for another 2-3 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through. Season, to taste, with the salt and chilli flakes.
• Pile the chilli prawns onto a serving plate and serve immediately.

BUTTERY CHILLI PRAWNS

Steps:

• Melt the butter and oil together in a frying pan. Add the garlic, chilli and paprika, then fry for 1-2 mins until starting to turn golden. Turn up the heat, throw in the prawns and fry for a few mins, stirring, until all the prawns turn pink. Take off the heat, season and stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
• Add some lemon slices to a finger bowl of warm water, grab a bowl for the shells, then dig straight in with your fingers and hunks of crusty bread.

LINGUINE WITH SANTA BARBARA SPOT PRAWNS

Steps:

• Slice the back of each prawn with a knife to expose the pulp and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the garlic and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the parsley and prawns. Cook the prawns on both sides until the color turn from dark grey (uncooked) to a vivid pink (cooked). Then add the white wine and stir well until the sharp smell of the wine is cooked off, about 1 minute (you don't want it dry).
• Remove the prawns and sauce to a casserole dish and reserve. Remove the shells from 2 prawns and chop into bite-size pieces. Add the chopped prawns and the tomatoes to the skillet and simmer over medium-high heat, about 15 minutes
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the directions on the box, and, as always, to make sure you achieve a proper "al dente" texture, drain it about 2 minutes before what is indicated.
• Move the pasta to the skillet and stir into the sauce for less than a minute on medium-high heat. Then move the pasta into a serving platter and organize the reserved prawns on top of it. Serve dressed with some fresh basil, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and one final sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

CHICKPEAS WITH PRAWNS

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas in a pot and cover with several inches of water. Simmer until tender, about 2 hours.
• Towards the end of the cooking time for the chickpeas, cook the onions, peppers and garlic in some olive oil in a large saute pan, stirring occasionally. Add the prawns, bay leaf and some salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the prawns are cooked through.
• Drain the chickpeas and add them to the prawns along with a splash of brandy. Cook briefly to let the bitterness evaporate. Serve.

POACHED TIGER PRAWNS WITH CLAMS, BOK CHOY, AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Make the poaching liquid: In a medium pot, over medium heat, add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil and add the soy, ginger, star anise, fish sauce, and orange peel. Reduce the heat and simmer until the broth absorbs the seasonings, about 15 minutes. Strain and keep the broth over low heat.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the bok choy and blanch for no more than 1 or 2 minutes. Remove the bok choy from the water and immediately plunge it into a bowl of ice water to shock it and stop the cooking. When cool, drain and set aside. Finely chop the green onion and cut the shiitake mushrooms into julienne slices. Slice the nori into thin strips.
• Put a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the shrimp to the hot oil for about 1 minute per side, just until they turn pink. Put the shrimp and clams into the hot poaching liquid and poach them for about 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and mushrooms and cook for 1 minute more.
• Remove shrimp and clams from the broth and put them into a shallow bowl. Surround them with the bok choy and shiitakes. Pour 1 or 2 ladles of broth over the dish and garnish with chopped green onion and nori strips.

Pop in the prawns and stir-fry for a couple of mins until they have just turned pink. Stir in the sugar and soy, then bubble until the sugar has melted and prawns are cooked through.
