CJ's Shrimp on the Barbie

Serves 6 persons

Ingredients

24 Large shrimp, head & all

1cm ginger

1 red chilli

1 spoon chopped coriander

150g butter

1 mango

1 lemon

Salt & pepper to taste

Method

1. Cut the prawns in half length ways. Season on the flesh side.

2. Melt the butter & blend with the ginger, coriander and chilli.

3. Brush the shrimps lightly with this mixture.

4. Grill flesh side down in batches on the bbq until golden.

5. Remove & place in an oven tray. Bake for 4 minutes at 200C. This will cook through the meat without getting that horrible burnt shell taste through the dish.

6. Take out the prawns & remove half the heads. Blend the heads with the melted butter & the lime juice. Strain well & add in the cubed mango.

7. Serve the prawns with this sauce drizzled over the top. It will go great with Vietnamese slaw or simple baked potatoes.

Enjoy
