Fresh and zingy best describes these prawns!
The chillis are from the garden, from memory they are a Diablo chilli, so small with a medium heat, feel free to use any chilli and adjust the heat level to suit your taste.
I would usually leave the tails on the prawns but we have Grandpa staying with us at the moment and he doesn’t “do” shells so I have peeled them completely.
Serves 4-6.
Ingredients
1kg prawns, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
juice of two limes
4 cloves garlic, sliced
3 small chillies
small bunch fresh coriander
salt and pepper
Method
Marinade the prawns in the oil, lime juice, garlic, chilli, 2/3 of the coriander and a little salt and pepper for 15mins.
Heat a large frying pan over hot heat until very hot or use the BBQ hot plate.
Once the pan is hot add the prawns and stir fry for 2 mins until cooked.
Serve garnished with the remaining coriander.
OMG I just made this over the weekend. These are delicious!
Hi det-res, these are so simple and so yummy! 🙂 Ros
I am looking at your blog as you liked a recipe on mine. I really like your recipes and as a Mother of a 12 year old boy (and girl) I will be looking again. Your recipes look tasty and mainly healthy which I need as I am dieting! I also like the face you live in Perth. I met my husband and one of my best friends there in 1989 as I lived there for about 18 months. It is a beautiful spot!
Thanks Zoe, I love living here but it has been a little bit too hot today! 45.5C/113.7F, rather toasty!
Reblogged this on Banana Berry Bonanza.
Thanks for re blogging Georgia and apologies for taking so long to get back to you! 🙂 Ros
Great summer dish Ros. Thanks for sharing. Was thinking of you today and your comment re cherries being a short season for you. I inadvertently ate 1/2 kg of them today. Bought locally at our fruit shop, they were the size of small eggs and delicious! I had intended to use them for decoration on a pav! Ha! Best laid plans……..
Brilliant Bountiful Hunter!You have to make the best of the cherries while they are here! 🙂 Ros
That looks delicious. I’ll definitley have to make them sometime
Thanks 365kitchen, I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! 🙂 Ros
Looks good! Cant wait to try this 🙂
Thanks SpicyPepper, enjoy! 🙂 Ros
This looks scrumptious, and I still have a whole load of chillies left from my harvest last year – they are mostly a type called Alberto’s Rotoco and have a lovely slow burn heat without being too sharp. This looks like a great recipe for them – I’m looking forward to making it at the weekend.
Hi Shewolfinthevalley, I haven’t heard of Alberto’s Rotoco chillies before, I’ll keep an eye out! Hope you enjoy the prawns. 🙂 Ros
