About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 4 tiger prawn
Coriander Lime Chilli Butter
- 3 green chilli
- 3 garlic clove
- a handful Thai basil
- a handful coriander
- 2 spring onion
- 1 lime
- 2 tbsp ground coriander
- a pinch salt
- 8 4/5 oz unsalted butter
Instructions
- 1Gather all ingredients and have a food processor ready.
- 2Rinse the tiger prawns, pat them dry, and set aside.
- 3In the food processor, combine the green chillies, garlic cloves, Thai basil, coriander leaves, whole spring onions, lime zest, lime juice, ground coriander, and a pinch of salt; pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
- 4Add the room‑temperature unsalted butter to the processor and pulse until the butter is fully incorporated, creating a smooth herb‑lime butter sauce. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and keep it at room temperature.
- 5Prepare the prawns for grilling: using kitchen shears, snip between the legs, cut through the shell, and split each prawn lengthwise while keeping it in one piece. Remove the back shell but leave the tail intact for presentation.
- 6Preheat a charcoal BBQ until the coals are hot and glowing. Place the prawns shell‑side down directly on the grill and cook for about 2–3 minutes, until the shells are nicely charred and the flesh is mostly cooked but still pink inside.
- 7Remove the prawns from the grill and set them aside briefly while you melt a portion of the prepared butter in a shallow tray placed on the hot grill.
- 8When the butter is melted, arrange the prawns flesh‑side down in the butter and sear for 20–30 seconds, basting them with the butter to finish cooking and infuse flavor.
- 9Transfer the prawns to a serving platter, drizzle the remaining coriander lime chilli butter over them, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and lime wedges.
- 10Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by extra butter sauce on the side for dipping.
