This dish is very simple to make

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE GRILLED JUMBO PRAWNS

1.5 – 3kg  of jumbo prawns   – cleaned and cut in half lengthwise

5-18  sprigs of spring onion – chopped

5 – 7 cloves of garlic – finely chopped

1 pinch of chili flakes  – (optional)

150gr of butter   – this may seem like a lot but you will appreciate it later

1 tsp of fish sauce –  or alternatively you can use 1 anchovy fillet  and 1 tsp of its brine

Juice f 2 lemons/limes

THE PRAWNS :

• Half the prawns lengthwise, marinate with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon/lime juice, leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
• Whilst prawns are marinating in the fridge prepare the sauce

THE SAUCE :

• Heat butter in a wok on medium heat, add garlic, and spring onion,  keep stirring to avoid getting burnt.

Add a dash of fish sauce/anchovy , this will add that umami flavor to our  sauce, set aside to cool

• Heat griddle on medium-high heat, place each hafted prawns, shell side down, leave them to grill for approximately 2 – 4 minutes.  Prawns don’t take too long to cook but for jumbo ones I’d give it a bit longer, when they start turning pink that’s when they are cooked.
• Transfer the prawns to a baking tray, shell side down. Spoon the sauce on to each prawn, place the pu the tray  in the oven  for 3 – 5 minutes on 100C
• Serve the jumbo prawns while they are hot, with side dishes of your choice or grilled asparagus or salad
