Lemon pepper grilled prawn, Mango chili salsa, Prawn head jus

Cooking is often a lot about motivation. Without motivation it becomes a boring habit just to fill your tummy and surviving this big bad world. I was staying away from cooking for last couple of months because there's a certain lack of motivation. Finally, as always MasterChef Australia became my saviour and I decided to modify one of the dishes I saw and make a healthier version of it.

Prawn has always been one of my favourite ingredients to cook, and salsa was one of the first item i learned to make when I started cooking first. Together Grilled prawns, prawn head jus and fresh salsa make an amazingly tasty and healthy dish.



Ingredients for the Grilled Prawns-

  • 6 Prawns (peeled, deveined, heads separated for the jus)
  • 1 tsp kaffir lime juice
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp Tang (an orange drink powder that I used to get mild orange flavor)
  • 1 tsp honey
  • salt
  • olive oil
Method-
  • Marinade the Prawns in the mixture of all the ingredients except olive oil for couple of hours.
  • Heat the olive oil in a grill pan.
  • grill the prawns until they are cooked properly in low flame.


Ingredients for Prawn head jus-
  • The separated prawn heads
  • 4-5 lemon leaves
  • 2-3 star anise
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp Bhut jolokiya chili sauce (you can substitute it with sweet chili sauce)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • olive oil
  • water

Method-

  • Slow cook the ingredients till you get a nice consistency and the mixture becomes 1/3rd of the actual portion. Keep tasting to adjust and balance of the taste
  • Once done, strain it and keep it aside.

Ingredients for Mango Chili salsa-
  • 1 large mango (peeled and diced)
  • 4-5 real hot green chilies (chopped)
  • 1 small tomato (chopped)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp kaffir lime juice
  • salt and pepper

Method-

  • Mix all the ingredients and season well.
  • keep it in the freezer till you serve it.
Assemble all the items and serve!
