whether you're buying them cooked or
0:01
whether you're serving them chilled with
0:02
different sauces prawns are an essential
0:05
part of Summer entertaining and it just
0:07
wouldn't be an Aussie Christmas without
0:09
them on the
0:11
table I'm going to show you exactly how
0:13
to peel them now at Coles we've got
0:15
beautiful black tiger prawns we've got
0:17
King prawns we've got banana prawns but
0:19
they're all the same when it comes to
0:20
peeling them if you're going to cook
0:21
them on the Barbie um in fact I've got
0:24
this incredible little reversible
0:26
Tepanyaki plate that you can actually
0:28
use inside so I'm going to stick mine on
0:30
the heat now it's very very simple all
0:32
you do is you just twist the top off
0:34
then along here you can just go ahead
0:37
and separate the shell from the prawn I
0:39
always leave the tail intact coz I think
0:41
it gives it that perfect little handle
0:43
make a tiny incision just along one side
0:45
of the back of the prawn and then you
0:47
literally just reveal that vein and then
0:49
you just pinch it and pull it straight
0:51
out and then this is literally ready to
0:54
go straight on the Barbie one other way
0:56
to do it you could of course throw that
0:58
whole prawn onto the barbecue and that
1:00
would be delicious another option is you
1:02
get yourself a sharp knife you put that
1:04
knife right there on the center you can
1:06
see how I'm doing that and then just cut
1:08
all the way through the shell so you're
1:10
just splitting the prawn in half go back
1:13
in the other direction and then when you
1:14
get to the head you're going to have to
1:16
hold it from both sides and you just
1:17
push that knife straight on through
1:19
check for a vein if there's some de-viening
1:21
that needs to happen go ahead and
1:23
do it what's the advantage of cooking in
1:25
the Shell well there are natural oils in
1:27
the Shell of the prawn that will give
1:29
lovely flavor all right let me show you
1:30
how we marinade these this is my
1:32
barbecue marinade box I've actually
1:35
already thrown these beautiful prawns in
1:37
a little bit of olive oil some garlic
1:39
and some parsley but you choose the
1:41
spices you choose the flavors and then
1:43
when you're ready to throw them on the
1:45
barber you just lift it up and you let
1:46
any of that excess oil drain off and
1:49
then we take that over to our Tepanyaki
1:52
plate I'm going to just pick these guys
1:54
up and stick them straight over here I'm
1:57
going to take a couple of lemons plant
1:59
those straight onto the grill and that
2:02
will caramelize the lemon ever so
2:04
slightly the only thing that you can
2:05
really do wrong with prawns is overcook
2:07
them so as soon as I start to just get
2:10
that little pink color and they start to
2:12
just curl ever so slightly you got to
2:14
turn them I add just a little seasoning
2:16
and a little squeeze of lemon turn it
2:19
off even though they're not quite
2:20
finished cooking you can literally pick
2:22
up that tiyaki plate bring it all the
2:24
way through to where you're serving
2:26
dinner drop it down and let people go
2:28
for it can serve them with rice you can
2:30
serve them with a s but this is just one
2:32
way to do them I also want to show you
2:34
how you can serve them chilled with a
2:36
variety of sauces I can't think of many
2:38
better ways to start a meal than a
2:40
beautiful platter of prawns on ice this
2:42
is a classic cocktail sauce this is a
2:45
Chipotle cocktail sauce so really spicy
2:48
and this is a gaspacho dipping sauce all
2:50
of them are fabulous and I'm going to
2:51
show you how to make them the classic
2:53
cocktail sauce tomato sauce a little bit
2:55
of hot sauce garlic horseradish and
2:58
lemon juice if you want want it to be
3:00
creamier add some mayonnaise that looks
3:03
pretty perfect to me this is a Chipotle
3:05
cocktail sauce throw all of your tomato
3:08
sauce into a large bowl you can use
3:10
lemon or lime juice I'm using lemon some
3:13
garlic Chipotle and lime zest it really
3:17
is just that simple for the gaspacho I
3:20
have all my ingredients laid out here
3:21
you've got Tomatoes capsicum some dried
3:24
breadcrumbs some chili some shots garlic
3:28
olive oil lemon juice a little lemon
3:30
zest you throw the whole lot into one of
3:33
these
3:35
and you have a gaspacho sauce and that
3:38
is the one that I think I'm going to
3:42
sample now when it comes to storing them
3:45
when you buy the prawns they'll last up
3:46
to 3 days just keep them in an airtight
3:48
container in the refrigerator or over
3:50
ice the same with the sauces that I'm
3:52
making they'll all last for at least 3
3:54
days now for the four recipes and the
3:56
tips look below but if you want more
3:58
inspiration keep on watching

Merry Christmas
