PRAWN & BROCCOLI ASIAN OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat eggs and lemon juice together and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 2 mins. Add prawns, chilli and garlic and cook until the broccoli is just done. Tip everything out onto a plate and give the pan a wipe.
• Heat a drop more oil in the pan. Pour in half the egg mix and swirl it around to make a thin omelette. Flip over to cook the other side, then lift onto a serving plate and keep warm. Quickly make another omelette. Add half the prawn mix to each, roll up and serve drizzled with some oyster sauce, if you like.

CHUCK'S SHRIMP BROCHETTES

Steps:

• Make a deep slit along the back of each shrimp and spread to butterfly. Stuff each shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon queso fresco and some jalapeno. Close the shrimp around the cheese and jalapeno. Wrap the stuffed shrimp with a half-piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick or small skewer.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the adobo sauce, garlic powder and lime juice. Pour half of the butter mixture into a bowl for serving and divide the remaining half between 2 bowls for brushing and basting.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat; brush with olive oil. Brush one side of the shrimp with the butter mixture and put the shrimp on the grill buttered-side down. Using the same brush and same butter, brush the second side. Grill for a few minutes, checking to make sure the bacon is not sticking to the grill.
• Flip the shrimp and cook, flipping as needed and frequently basting with the second small bowl of butter and a clean brush, until the bacon is completely cooked and the shrimp are opaque, about 8 minutes total. Serve the shrimp on a platter with the remaining chipotle butter.

SHRIMP BROCHETTE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat. Soak skewers in water.
• Place a strip of jalapeno into the opening of butterflied shrimp. Wrap with a piece of the bacon, and thread onto skewers so that the shrimp is pierced once through the head, and once through the tail, and bacon is secure. You can usually fit about 6 shrimp on a skewer. Make sure there is a little space between the shrimp, this will help the bacon cook better. Season both sides of the shrimp generously with Cajun seasoning.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place shrimp skewers on the grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn, and place slices of cheese over the shrimp. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until bacon is browned, and cheese is melted.

PRAWN AND BACON BROCHETTES

Steps:

• Cut the bacon (or jamon, if using it) into pieces which will wrap generously round the prawns. Place the wrapped prawns down flat on a board and skewer them through the fattest part and the tail, making sure the jamón is firmly fixed. Season generously and drizzle with the oil.
• On a high heat, griddle, grill or barbecue the prawn and bacon brochettes for 2-3 minutes on each side, so the jamón crisps up. Alternatively , roast in a hot oven (425ºF) on an oiled baking tray for 8-10 minutes. Squeeze over the juice of the lemon wedges and serve immediately.
