CAJUN BBQ PRAWNS

Steps:

• Mix all the seasoning mix ingredients in a food processor and set aside.
• Stored in a sealed container, it will keep indefinitely for future use.
• Blend the garlic, olive oil, 2 T seasoning mix, lemon juice, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl.
• Add the prawns and the chopped parsley to the mixture and toss well to coat.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Place prawns with the marinade in a large, heavy skillet (large enough to fit prawns in a single layer or cook in batches) and place in oven.
• In about 2 to 3 minutes, shake the pan to ensure even cooking and repeat in another 2 to 3 minutes.
• At this point the mixture should be bubbling and the prawns will be turning opaque.
• Transfer the pan to a stovetop, over medium heat and begin adding the butter in 1 to 2 T increments, shaking the pan the entire time, allowing the butter to emulsify into the mixture before adding any more butter.
• This process should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
• When completed, pour onto a platter and serve immediately with plenty of good, crispy bread.

CAJUN BBQ PRAWNS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• For the Cajun dry rub: Combine the salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, granulated onion, paprika and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
• For the spicy peach bbq sauce: Drizzle the Anaheim chile with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on all side, about 5 minutes total. Cool briefly, and then remove the stem and chop.
• Put the bacon, onion and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the bacon is slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Stir in the peach preserves and Anaheim chile, then stir in the barbecue sauce, molasses, rum, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Cool; put the sauce into a blender and puree until smooth. Divide the sauce among 2 bowls, reserve one for serving.
• For the prawns: Line a serving platter with the arugula. Drizzle the prawns with the oil and dust with the Cajun dry rub on all sides. Grill until charred on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the prawns, baste with some of the spicy peach bbq sauce, and cook until the prawns are charred on the second side, about 2 more minutes. Baste, flip, baste again, and pull off the grill.
• Put the shrimp on top of the arugula and serve immediately with the reserved bowl of spicy peach bbq sauce on the side.
