Today, our guest cook Kim Howell (AKA Insta's @hungry_gc) is back with a new ravishing meal. Perfect for hot, social gatherings, this dish will transport you to a tropical paradise and will surely impress your guests.
This delightful recipe combines the succulent flavours of grilled prawns with a zesty and spicy salsa verde.
The salsa verde, made with a blend of basil, parsley, mint, garlic, jalapeños, capers, anchovy fillets, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil, adds a burst of freshness and tanginess to the prawns.
The prawns are then grilled to perfection on a hibachi, resulting in a juicy and flavourful seafood delight. If you favour the ole, trusty Weber, got for it!
Serve this dish with a side of noodles or a fresh salad for a complete meal. So, grab your apron and fire up the hibachi - it's time to indulge in the tantalizing flavours of hibachi prawns with spicy salsa verde! You'll need:
- 1 bunch mint (Kim grabs this from her Glowpear)
- 1 bunch basil (Kim grabs this from her Glowpear)
- 1 bunch parsley (Kim grabs this from her Glowpear)
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 2 jalapeños, sliced
- 4 quality anchovy fillets
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 tablespoon caper brine
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 12 king prawns, left whole (can leave vein in)
Begin by adding all the ingredients to a food processor. Pulse them until you achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to your liking, and feel free to adjust the acidity or spiciness by adding a bit more lemon juice or chili to taste.
Take the prepared prawns and place them in a large bowl. Pour over half of the vibrant salsa verde, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Preheat your hibachi. Once it's sizzling hot, grill the prawns for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are perfectly cooked through. Then, transfer the succulent prawns to a serving plate and generously drizzle them with the remaining salsa verde.
Serve with Asian noodles and a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc. We suggest a lovely Margaret River drop, like the Leeuwin Estate Art Series, or maybe from
Forester Estate.
