BBQ Prawns, Green Mango, Chili, Lime & Mint salad

BBQ Prawns
Here they are. Nicely pinked, smoky and slightly charred prawns, sat atop a vibrant coloured and flavourful salad. Perfect combination. Very tasty. In the salad could go with anything to be honest.

For the salad, you will need;

  • 2 green mangos – I (well rather Mary) simply peeled and then grated them down to the core stone. Pat the shaving with some kitchen cloth as you don’t wang them super wet;
  • 5 limes cut in half and juiced over the mango shavings;
  • 2 packets of mint – pick the leaves off the stalks and finely chop;
  • 1 finely chopped chili padi;
  • 2 teaspoons of fish sauce;
  • One large pinch of salt; and
  • A pinch of baked ground pepper.

Combine these in a bowl and then lay on a serving platter as I have done in the photo.

For the BBQ Prawns, you will need;

  • 10 prawns with the shall left on;
  • Half a cup of lemon juice;
  • 1 Tablespoon of finely chopped garlic; and
  • A good pinch of salt and cracked black pepper.

Again combine these in a bowl, give a astir and set aside to let the acid of the lemon start to slowly cook the prawns. If you can leave this in the fridge for about 2 hours that’s great but longer if possible.

When you’re ready 2-3 minutes each side on a nice hot BBQ or grill. BBQ best because you get the smoky of the coals. Simply take the BBQ Prawns off then, allow them to sit a couple of minutes, before arrantly them neatly on top of the salad on the platter. And you can serve my friends.

Looks bloody nice.

Tasted equally so, I heard. I did try the salad and oh yeah that was double nice!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
