4 MINUTE SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, garlic, red pepper flakes and shrimp.

FRIED PRAWNS WITH GARLICKY HOT PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large, wide, heavy-based pan at least 13cm deep, heat 5cm of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat (make sure the pan is no more than two-thirds full) until it reaches 190C. While the oil is heating, make the batter. Whisk together the cornflour, potato starch, flour and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Add the egg white, vegetable oil and 120ml water and whisk to form a thick batter.
• Working in batches, coat the prawns in the batter, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Carefully lower the prawns into the hot oil, one at a time, and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 1½ mins. Transfer to a wire rack or paper-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining prawns, letting the oil return to 190C between batches.
• Let the oil return to 190C, then carefully return the prawns to the oil and fry a second time for 1½-2 mins until very crisp. Transfer to a wire rack or paper-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
• To make the sauce, whisk together the sugar, tomato purée, soy sauce, vinegar, gochujang, sriracha and sesame oil in a bowl with the remaining cornflour and 60ml water until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the onion, garlic, red and green chillies. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring, until just fragrant. Add the sauce mixture and cook for about 45 seconds, stirring, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Add the fried prawns, toss quickly to coat and transfer to a platter. Scatter over the spring onions and serve immediately with rice.

GRILLED PRAWNS WITH SPICY FRESH PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix together all of the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl, cover, and let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours before serving.
• Heat your grill to high.
• Toss the prawns with the oil in a bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Grill the prawns for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. Remove to a platter and immediately spoon the sauce over shrimp with a slotted spoon. Serve hot.

HOT-SAUCE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Put the butter and hot sauce in a large bowl.
• Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over high. Add the scallions and cook until softened and browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the scallions to the bowl with the butter and hot sauce.
• Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adding more oil if the pan is dry. Flip and cook until opaque all the way through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Transfer the shrimp and any juices to the butter, hot sauce and scallions. Toss vigorously until the butter is melted and the shrimp is glossy. Taste, and add more hot sauce and salt as needed.

SOUTHERN-FRIED PRAWNS

Steps:

• To prepare the prawns, mix the buttermilk, garlic granules and ground ginger together in a bowl. Add the prawns and stir to coat, then chill for at least 30 mins or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the coating by combining all of the ingredients with a pinch of salt in a shallow dish. Set aside.
• Allow any excess buttermilk marinade to drip off the prawns, then dip in the coating mixture, turning to ensure an even covering.
• Heat a deep-fat fryer no more than a third full of oil to 180C. Or, heat the oil to a depth of 10cm in a pan until a cube of bread sizzles and turns golden in 30 seconds. Carefully lower 3-4 prawns into the oil at a time and deep-fry for 2 mins, or until crisp and golden. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper using a slotted spoon, then season and sprinkle with the coriander leaves and lemon zest, if you like. Serve with the hot gumbo dip (see below) and some lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients; stir in the shrimp until evenly coated; marinate for 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, blend together all sauce ingredients.
• Slice the chili peppers in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife, then cut the peppers into 1/4-inch pieces (I use rubber gloves for this, watch your eyes, these are HOT!).
• In a large wok or large heavy skillet, over high heat, add in half of the marinated shrimp; stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink; remove.
• Heat 1 Tbsp oil in the same wok/frypan, and stir-fry remaining shrimp in the same manner; remove.
• Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
• Heat the remaining oil in the same pan.
• Add the chili peppers and garlic; stir-fry 10 seconds, or until peppers start to turn brown.

• Serve immediately.
