Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Tiger prawns (large, deveined, shells on)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 2 tablespoons Sambal oelek (chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 wedges Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the tiger prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine the lime juice, minced garlic, sambal oelek, soy sauce, coconut cream, brown sugar, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the marinade is smooth and well blended.
Pour the marinade over the tiger prawns, ensuring each prawn is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the prawns from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Place the prawns directly on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shells turn bright orange and the flesh is opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
Transfer the cooked tiger prawns to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Enjoy your Samba Miguera Tiger Prawns hot with your favorite side dishes, like rice or a fresh green salad!
