Curried Prawns with Cucumber Relish
I just love this combination of fiery prawns with a soothing cucumber relish, so easy to put together and perfect for entertaining friends in the summer months. As featured in Sainsbury's magazine.
Ingredients
- For the prawns
- 2tbsp mild madras curry powder
- 1tbsp crushed coriander seeds
- 2 red chillies finely chopped
- 2tbsp vegetable oil
- 600g raw shell on jumbo prawns
- 1tbsp crushed coriander seeds
- For the cucumber relish
- 1 cucumber
- 2tsp thai fish sauce
- 1tsp sesame oil
- 1 red chilli finely chopped
- Juice of 2 limes
- Handful of chopped coriander
- 3 spring onion finely chopped
- 2tsp thai fish sauce
Method
Put the mild curry powder, coriander seeds, chilli and oil in a large bowl. Mix well, add the prawns and toss to coat, then leave to marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
Cut the cucumber in half lengthways, and slice thinly into half moons. Transfer the cucumber to a bowl with the fish sauce, sesame oil, chilli, lime juice, coriander and spring onions. Mix well and chill in the fridge before serving.
Light the barbecue.
BBQ the prawns in batches over a medium to high heat for 2/3 minutes until they turn pink.
Serve with the relish.
