Ingredients
- 24 pcs Prawns (size 16–20)
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- Juice of ½ Orange
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 10 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp finely chopped Ginger
- 2 tbsp coarsely chopped Coriander
- 1 Lime for serving
- Red Chili Pepper to taste
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
Wine Recommendation
- A light, less aromatic white or rosé wine pairs excellently with seafood.
Preparation
- 1Carefully twist off the heads of the prawns and squeeze the juice into a small bowl. Peel the prawns, leaving the last tail segment intact (remove the shell). In a second bowl, combine the peeled prawns with the lemon and orange juice. Add two pinches of sea salt, stir well, and let marinate for about 10 minutes.
- 2Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the prawns and sear for about half a minute. Turn them over and add the finely chopped ginger, finely sliced chili (to taste), and finely chopped garlic. Fry for another half minute.
- 3Add the juice from the prawn heads to the remaining citrus marinade in the bowl.
- 4Pour the marinade into the pan and simmer for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh coriander. Serve with lime wedges and fresh white bread.
Tip
For a more intense grilled flavor, you can also prepare the prawns directly on the grill. Make sure they don't dry out.
Gurkerl Küche
Ein Spritzer frischer Limettensaft direkt vor dem Servieren hebt die feinen Aromen der Garnelen besonders hervor. Dazu passt ein knuspriges Baguette oder Ciabatta.
