Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 kg king prawns or 1 kg shrimp, raw and unpeeled
2 glasses dry white wine, I used Chardonnay
1 small shallots or 1 small onion, peeled and diced finely
2 -4 garlic cloves, peeled and diced finely
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 lemon, cut in half
water
6 tablespoons high quality ready-made mayonnaise or 6 tablespoons home-made mayonnaise
3 dashes Tabasco sauce or 3 dashes any other hot chili sauce
1/2 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon tomato sauce
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 teaspoon garlic granules or 2 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and minced
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Put the prawns/shrimp into a large pan and add the wine, lemon halves, onion or shallot and garlic. Add the water to just cover the prawns/shrimp, and then add the Old Bay seasoning. Stir well.
Cook over a high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the prawns are pink and cooked. Strain the prawns/shrimp (keeping the cooking liquor for a soup or fish sauce ~ I often freeze it until I need it.) and place them into a large bowl.
Allow lots of paper napkins and a spare bowl for the prawn/shrimp peelings and eat immediately with a mixed salad, crusty bread and the spicy dip.
To make the dip, just whiz or mix all the ingredients together and taste before adjusting the seasoning ~ we like it very spicy. Serve in a separate bowl or in individual dishes with the prawns/shrimp.
