Steps
- For the Grilled Prawns, combine all ingredients except prawns in a bowl and whisk. Add prawns and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate.
- For the Fried Prawns, heat oil to 180°C in a deep fryer.
- In a bowl, combine water, half the flour, cumin, cayenne, half the coriander and half the salt and whisk to a smooth batter. Transfer to a deep tray.
- In a deep tray bowl, combine remaining flour, coriander and salt and mix.
- Thread 23cm bamboo skewers through the length of each prawn. Roll prawns in the wet batter then the dry batter.
- Add prawns to the hot oil and fry for 3 ½ minutes or until golden. Combine sesame seeds in a small bowl. Transfer prawns to a wire rack and when cool enough to handle, dip heads into sesame seeds. Reserve sesame seeds.
- For the Honey Butter Soy Sauce, heat a large frying pan over high heat and melt 30g of butter. Add marinated prawns and cook for 1 minute each side.
- Add remaining butter, honey, soy sauce and garlic. As butter melts, spoon sauce over the prawns. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until just cooked through.
- To serve, place Marinated Prawns and Fried Prawns on a serving plate. Serve Honey Butter Sauce on the side and sprinkle a few of the reserved sesame seeds over Marinated Prawns.
