Arun and I got up early on 2nd April 2011 to watch the India-Sri Lanka Cricket World Cup Finals. Arun took his favourite side of his couch with the TV remote (well he wasn't going to the change the channel for sure :)...I was equally excited, took our Indian flag and wrapped around me and was all set to cheer team India. But slowly I started to feel hungry (am human after all ).But I didn't want to spend the whole day inside the kitchen, so I had already decided what would be the menu for the day....Ghee Rice, Kerala style Egg Curry and Caramel Custard :) All the recipes will be uploaded soon, but today am gonna share with you, the appetizer for the D-day.
"Tiger Prawns on Skewers" was the appetizer to go with our celebrations, Beer and Breezer. Prawns, the King of Sea-Food is such a delicacy that I can do anything for it. Seriously it is so yummy yum. And the recipe is super-duper easy that you can make it in a jiffy. So Let's cook people! By the way....INDIA won the WORLD CUP that day!! :)
Ingredients:
- 500 gm tiger prawns
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (til oil)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (til)
- 1/2 tsp pepper powder
- salt for seasoning
- wooden skewers (preferably size of your palm)
Method:
- To make your work easier, buy frozen prawns (which is cleaned and deveined already). Thaw the prawns overnight so that all the water comes out from the prawns.
- Marinate the prawns with the above ingredients and keep aside for at least 30 min.
- Meanwhile soak the wooden skewers in a bowl of water to avoid it from burning when it is on the griddle.
- Skewer at least 4 marinated prawns onto one wooden skewer .
- Heat a non stick griddle pan and spread the skewers on it. Grill the skewers 4-5 minutes each side until cooked through.
- Serve immediately with a chilli-garlic dipping sauce. WHAT AN APPETIZER!! :)
