Moroccan Prawns With Couscous image

This is sounds like such a big recipe but if you just follow the steps it is not as daunting as it sounds and the end result is gorgeous. I made this as I have been trying to recreate a recipe I have had at a local restaurant. I know this is not exactly how they would make it but it tasted wonderful and both myself and my hubby absolutely loved this.

SPANISH TIGER PRAWNS (SHRIMPS)



Spanish Tiger Prawns (Shrimps) image

I regularly cook these for dinner parties and they remain a firm favourite. I have had to teach numerous friends the recipe and have had the dish cooked for me many times on return invitations. It is important that the prawns are raw, with the heads on, as this is where much of the flavour comes from. Fresh are better, but frozen tiger prawns make a perfectly satisfactory alternative if necessary. Birds-eye chillies are very small, but very hot. During marinading, a small amount of this heat is transferred to the oil and sherry. Be careful not to bite into one of these chilles, though - you will find yourself stuffing your mouth full of bread to numb the burn! I normally serve the dish as a starter, in the pan in the centre of the table and accompanied with lots of fresh French bread for dunking. Wonderfully tasty and typically Spanish.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 kg raw tiger shrimp, shell-on
3 whole dried bird's eye chiles
1/2 lemon
3 garlic cloves, sliced
300 ml dry sherry
300 ml extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Mix a count the olive oil and sherry in a shallow dish. Add garlic, chillies, salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon into mixture.
  • Remove shells from prawns. Squeeze the heads into the mixture, place the prawns and heads into the mixture and discard the remaining shells. The squeezing of the heads is a very important step and should not be forgotten, however squeemish!
  • Ensure the prawns are mostly covered by the mixture. If not, add more sherry and olive oi in equal measures.
  • Cover and leave to marinade at cool room temperature for as long as possible, preferably 3 hours. If less time is available, add more garlic and chillies. Mix occasionally to cover the prawns.
  • Remove prawns from mixture, leaving heads in the sauce, and place to one side.
  • Heat the marinade over a high heat until bubbling and the heads have turned pink.
  • Return the raw prawns to the pan and stir until just cooked.
  • Remove some heads from the pan if desired, although a few make an attractive addition, and the Spanish traditionally suck any remaining juice from them.
  • Serve in the pan in the centre of the table with lots of crust bread for dipping.

3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup dry white wine (60 ml/2 fl.ozs. )
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (80 ml/3 fl.ozs. )
1 1/2 tablespoons mild-flavored honey
1 inch piece gingerroot, peeled and grated (2.5 cm)
1 tablespoon brown onion, finely chopped
paprika
24 uncooked tiger shrimp, peeled and deveined (prawns)
6 sprigs fresh cilantro (coriander)
3 limes, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Preheat a griller (broiler) on high.
  • Combine all the Honey-Lime Butter ingredients in a small food processor fitted with the metal blade or in a blender, including paprika to taste. Process until smooth. Using a spatula, transfer to a small, heavy pan and place over low heat. Cook gently for 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Set aside.
