Thai Prawns Cakes

These prawns cakes are a mainstay of Thai cuisine! They’re obviously going to be spicy and have that signature Thai spice taste.

Thinly slice three scallions, peel and devein a pound of prawns, mince two garlic cloves, and remove the seeds and stems from one jalapeno pepper and then mince. Grate finely one lime’s zest.

Cut the prawns into half-inch pieces. Pulse mix in a food processor the garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, lime zest, a few pinches of salt, and all of the scallion except for two tablespoons. You want a finely minced texture.

Next into the food processor goes half the prawns, a tablespoon of mayonnaise, one large egg white, and two tablespoons of cornstarch. Let the processor blend them until the mixture is coarse. Add the rest of the prawns and pulse a few more times, allowing some of the prawns to be chunkier.

Pour everything into a bowl with a fourth cup of panko breadcrumbs. You want to use a spatula and your hands to ball up the mixture then refrigerate from anywhere between half an hour to 24 hours.

When you’re ready to make them, take them out of the fridge and use a tablespoon and your wet hands to form your preferred-sized patties. Fry the prawns patties in canola oil using medium high heat. Make sure to heat the oil first. Turn on each side every three or four minutes and you’ll know they’re done because they’ll turn golden brown.

Place on your serving plate and garnish with your remaining stash of scallions and some fresh cilantro and enjoy!

California Prawns Rolls

California rolls are super popular at sushi restaurants because of their crunchy, fun texture. They’re simple and easy to make. Here’s how to make a California Prawns Roll:

Remove the flesh from avocados and cut them lengthwise into thin strips. Cut some Nori Seaweed Sheets in half. Make rice, then when it’s cooked, blend into it a mixture of one-thirds cup vinegar, one tablespoon of salt, and two tablespoons of sugar.

Peel and devein prawns then coat in a batter of your choice, which is optional. Fry the battered prawns (or as they are) in a saucepan with oil using medium heat until the batter is golden brown or until the bare prawns turn pink.

Lay some wax paper onto your kitchen work area. Set down the Nori sheet with the rough side facing up and then place some rice on top of it. Turn the entire Nori sheet over. Place some of the avocado slices and the prawns parallel to each other onto the Nori sheet.

Roll the Nori sheet up, using the wax paper, if needed, to help you roll your California prawns roll. The sushi rice should be outside and everything neatly tucked inside.

4 Egyptian Prawns Recipes That’ll Flare Up Your Summer Nights!

If you’ve never had Egyptian cuisine, you can try one or more of these simple, under-an-hour recipes. Ancient Egyptians relied on seafood and harvest, and so, they’ve refined their recipes through the ages. Through generations, they’ve skillfully brought out the particular aromas and flavors of local spices in all of their dishes.

Prawns happen to be one of their favorite ingredients! They notably like leaving the shell on during the cooking process, so they can enjoy peeling and eating them with their hands surrounded by family and friends on a warm afternoon.

Here are four of their prawns recipes:

Gambari Makri bi-Roz (Spiced Prawns)

Egyptian rice has a unique flavor and texture that you’ll come to enjoy. It’s firmer than most other rices around the world and has a simple, but different taste to it. Combine that with prawns with a unique Egyptian spice flavor and you’ve got a new exotic superfood dish to prepare for your friends and family!

Finely chop two medium yellow onions, five tablespoons of parsley, and one clove of garlic. Juice one lemon.

Peel and devein a pound of prawns.

Make the Egyptian rice: Soak two cups of rice in water with a little salt for 30 minutes. Then drain the rice and keep on rinsing it until the rinse water is clear.

Heat a saucepan using medium heat and add two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Throw in half a cup of vermicelli and cook until golden brown. Throw in the rice and stir well. Wait until the rice changes color, then add two cups of water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to low and let simmer for about 20 minutes with the cover on. Then, turn off the heat and leave the rice covered for another 10 minutes.

Sayadieh (Prawns Pot)

This dish is like a light prawns gumbo from Egypt! It uses sour juices and just the right kind of spices prepared in the right way to make a rice broth dish that tastes quite exotic.

Soak two cups of brown basmati rice for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse until the rinse water becomes clear.

Cut two onions into rings. Peel and devein 2.2 pounds of prawns.

In a small bowl, mix in half a teaspoon of caraway powder and half a tablespoon of each: cumin powder, cinnamon powder, sweet pepper, and The 7 Spices brand spice.

Coat your prawns in this mix very well. Pour a tablespoon of grapeseed oil onto a deep skillet and heat using medium-high heat. Throw in the prawns and cook until they turn pink, then remove and set aside. Add a tablespoon of butter to the skillet and onions and stir such that the onions absorb the prawns’ flavor. Add a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of the spice mix you used for coating the prawns.

Continue to cook the onions for about fifteen more minutes until they’re caramelized. Now, set aside two tablespoons of the onions from the skillet. Throw in the rice and mix well with the onions.

Serve and enjoy.

Alexandrian Prawns

In Egyptian, this dish is named, “Gambari Iskandarani.” It’s an ancient finger food that goes all the way back to the BC era! It leaves the shells on because the chitin protects the shrimp from becoming anything but soft, tender, and juicy while cooking. The buttery mixture of this dish soaks in so many spices and herbs – the signature flavor of Alexandria.

Mince five cloves of garlic. Slice up a yellow onion. Preheat your oven’s broil to 425 degrees.

Soak 2.2 pounds of prawns in a solution of cleaning vinegar and water for 15 minutes. Rinse it with tap water, then set it on a colander to remove excess water.

Place a saucepan on your stovetop at medium-low heat. Melt half a cup of unsalted butter on it, then throw in the garlic and a teaspoon of each: cilantro spice, smoked/sweet paprika, cumin, oregano spice, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. When the mixture starts giving off aromas, turn off the heat.

If the prawns are still wet, you can pat them dry with a paper tower, then place them on your baking plate or tray. Drizzle the buttery mixture onto the prawns, making sure to coat all of them well – you can use a spatula with holes to make this easier. Garnish the prawns with five whole garlic cloves, five bay leaves, the yellow onions and lemon wedges.

Place it into the oven for about half an hour or until the prawns turn pink, then remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil for about five minutes to seal and spread the aromas and flavors.

Serve and enjoy!

4 Hearty Prawns Dinner Recipes for Your Whole Family

Have you ever considered prawns for dinner? Dinners are usually made with proteins with more mass – like pot roast, steak, and poultry. People think of prawns as an appetizer, a handheld snack, or the ingredient of some kind of light meal dish. But, prawns can actually make for a huge variety of hearty and heavy dinners that can feed your entire family for multiple servings.

Prawns are also healthier than both beef and poultry – they’re a superfood rich with more nutrients than both meats, while also being low in bad fats and high in good fats (omega 3s).

Here are four prawns dinner recipes you can try:

Lemon Herb Prawns and Rice

This is a very filling and scrumptious meal. It’s got all the savory, sour, healthy flavors with the good kind of carbohydrates rather than sugars. It’s definitely a healing dinner after a long day – and the prawns give you an added nutrient-boost along with much needed protein.

Peel and devein 1.5 pounds of prawns. Mince two teaspoons of garlic. In a bowl, add half a teaspoon of each: thyme, basil, oregano, and parsley spices. Cook 1.3 cups of rice.

In a saucepan, melt three tablespoons of butter using medium heat then remove most of it, leaving behind just enough for sauteeing. Throw in and sautee the garlic for a minute. Add the cooked rice and stir for another minute. Add the juice of an entire lemon, 2.7 cups of chicken broth, one teaspoon of salt, a fourth teaspoon of black pepper, and the contents of your spice bowl.

Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat until it’s only simmering and cover for fifteen minutes.

In a new bowl, combine the rest of your melted butter with the half a teaspoon zest of one lemon, and one tablespoon of honey. Add your prawns and mix and toss them around to coat them uniformly.

Remove the lid from the simmering rice, then add the prawns mixture on top. You can also add fresh thyme, parsley, coriander, and some lemon wedges if you’d like – then re-cover. Let cook until prawns turn pink or five minutes maximum.

Serve and enjoy!

Prawns Lasagna

Who doesn’t love lasagna, right? But, ground beef and ham contain a lot of preservatives, sodium, and unhealthy fats. Prawns lasagna takes the dish to a healthier level!

In another bowl, mix 15 ounces of ricotta cheese, one egg, a pinch of salt and pepper, three tablespoons of lemon juice, one teaspoon of dried basil, and half a cup of Parmesan cheese.

Bring out your baking dish and spread your sauce evenly across its surface. Place three lasagna noodles across the layer of sauce. Spread half the ricotta mixture across the noodles. Distribute half of your prawns across the ricotta.

Lemon Prawns Salad

Craving a sweet and creamy summer salad? This recipe is for you! It’s sweet and sour and brings out the savory flavor of healthy prawns.

First, finely dice 1.5 cups of celery. Then, thinly cut four small green onions. Chop up 2.5 tablespoons of dill and two tablespoons of tarragon. Peel and devein two pounds of prawns.

You can cut or leave the prawns as-is, it’s your choice – but combine the prawns from the fridge, the tarragon, dill, celery, and green onions. Pour the mayo mix into the combination and use a spatula to evenly distribute everything.

4 Japanese Cuisine Prawns Recipes

Seafood is pretty much a staple in Japanese cuisine. Japan is an island nation, which means, historically, its people thrived on fishing and deriving nourishment from the sea. Prawns are one of their favorite ingredients found in many Japanese cuisine dishes!

Here are four simple, yet delicious Japanese cuisine prawns recipes you should try:

Fried Prawns Over Seaweed Salad

This is a great go-to dish for a quick, nutritious, and scrumptious meal with a great, gentle Japanese taste for when you want to relax, unwind, and snack on dinner or lunch while watching Netflix. It’s simple, yet dietary complete, and fits in a bowl!

First, make the seaweed salad. You can buy dried seaweed in the ethnic or Asian section of most groceries and supermarkets. Soak about 0.75 ounces of wakame seaweed (dried) in warm water for about five minutes, then drain and squeeze out the excess water. Cut them into half-inch width strips.

Mince half a teaspoon of garlic. Finely grate a teaspoon of ginger. Thinly slice two scallions. Shred a fourth cup of carrots. Chop up two tablespoons of fresh cilantro.

In a small bowl, mix together three tablespoons of vinegar and of soy sauce, a tablespoon of sesame oil, a teaspoon of sugar, some red pepper flakes, and the ginger and garlic.

Mix in the wakame seaweed, carrots, cilantro, and scallions. Toss and mix until uniform, then sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.

Now, let’s make the sushi rice! Cook a cup of rice, then mix the cooked rice with two tablespoons of vinegar, two teaspoons of sugar, and one teaspoon of salt.

Next, dice up a green onion. Devein and peel a pound of prawns. Using medium high heat, warm a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet then throw in the green onions and stir well. After a minute, throw in the prawns and continue stirring until they turn pink.

Put the rice into a serving bowl or plate, then put the seaweed salad on top of it. Lastly, top it off with your prawns and onions.

Serve and enjoy!

Stick Harumaki Prawns

This dish is basically Japanese spring rolls with prawns as the protein.

Start off shredding a cup of cheese of your choosing. Devein and peel five prawns, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Season with half a tablespoon of sake and 0.25 teaspoons of salt. Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel.

Using a cutting board, place five harumaki skin wrappers or egg roll skins with the length facing you. Set the prawns, two-thirds cups of edamame, and the cheese near the end facing you. Mix three tablespoons of flour and water then apply the mixture to the sides and to the other end.

Roll up the roll, using the flour mixture to help keep it tight and to seal it. Once you’ve made all of your rolls, fry them using oil and medium high heat until they’re golden brown.

Serve and enjoy! Full recipe here.

Hibachi Grilled Prawns

Everyone’s been to a hibachi grill chain restaurant before. The one where the chef makes your meal in a fanciful display in front of you. Well, here’s a recipe for hibachi-style grilled prawns that’ll combine this superfood protein with Japanese-style fried rice!

Peel and devein two pounds of prawns. Marinate the prawns in a bowl of a fourth cup of mirin and a teaspoon of: toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and grated ginger. Mix to coat the prawns, then place in the refrigerator for an hour.

In another bowl, mix a half cup of mayo, two tablespoons of ketchup, two teaspoons of toasted sesame oil, one teaspoon of sriracha, half a teaspoon of garlic powder, a fourth teaspoon of grated ginger, and an eighth teaspoon of white pepper.

Chop a cup of scallions and onions.

Cook four cups of rice then scramble five eggs with salt and pepper using medium heat in a saucepan with one tablespoon of cooking oil. Keep the scrambled eggs in a separate bowl and chop them up into smaller pieces and mix with the scallions.

Next, warm a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil and melt a fourth cup of butter in another skillet and sautee the onions and a cup of frozen peas and carrots until the onions get soft.

Now, throw the rice and the scrambled eggs mixture into the skillet until everything is hot, then turn off heat and place a cover to keep it warm. (If it’s easier to sautee for you, you can refrigerate the cooked rice along with the prawns being marinated for that same hour so that they’ll stir fry better.)

Drain the prawns of excess marinade then drizzle with a tablespoon of cooking oil, then throw on a preheated grill. Grill until they’re slightly charred and a little bit firm.

Serve the grilled prawns with your fried rice and mayo mix! Enjoy.

Chawanmushi Prawns

Chawanmushi is a Japanese appetizer that translates close to “steamed cup meal.” It’s probably almost a dessert because its main composition is custard – but, it has healthy veggies and proteins, too! So, it’s in that lovely, cushy middle ground where you can pass it off as either a healthy snack or a cute little cup dessert you can impress your friends and visitors with!

You can use an authentic chawanmushi cup, which you can buy at Asian super stores, or you can settle for a heat-resistant teacup.

Peel and devein half a pound of prawns.

Put tap water into a pot such that there are two inches of water depth at the bottom. Place a steam rack on top of the pot then turn the heat up to medium-high until the water starts to simmer.

In a bowl, whisk together four eggs. In another bowl, combine half a teaspoon of salt, 2.5 cups of dashi, and one tablespoon of soy sauce and mirin. Carefully whisk the contents of the mirin bowl with the eggs until uniform.

Strongly recommended to strain your new mixture into a glass container to remove any impurities, like extra egg white or solids that didn’t get quite dissolved even after copious whisking.

Fill your desired number of serving chawanmushi or teacups to 75% with the strained mixture. For the final 25% you can add shiitake mushrooms, fish cakes, and fresh parsley. Finally, add an appropriate number of your prawns to each serving cup.

Cover your serving cups with aluminum foil or the chawanmushi lids. Place the cups onto the steam rack and cover the pot with a lid and let cook for 10 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

4 Scrumptious Quick Recipes for Prawns!

Prawns could be on the level of superfoods – they have very low fat and calories per serving compared to lean chicken (so that’s saying a lot!), and they’re richer in vitamins and minerals than poultry and meats. But, they’ve got more sodium and are pricier per serving than them too – so that’s something to consider.

Nutrition aside, prawns are like a culinary dream – by their nature, they’re automatically fun finger foods, but can also be the main attraction of an extravagant five-star entree!

Here are four quick recipes for prawns that you can make at home in less than an hour:

Garlic Butter Prawns

Peel and devein a pound of prawns. Thinly slice four cloves of garlic. Cut into small cubes three tablespoons of unsalted butter. Salt and pepper the prawns. Simmer two tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan using medium to medium-high heat. Throw in the prawns and let simmer for one minute, then flip them. Add the garlic, 1/4th teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and a half cup of dry white wine.

Turn off the heat when the prawns are curled, pink, or opaque. Stir in the butter until it’s melted and sprinkle with a 1/4th cup of chopped flat-leaf parsley and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Enjoy!

Prawns Pasta

Chop half of a red onion and mince five cloves of garlic. Chop a cup of parsley and two or three vine ripe tomatoes. Start boiling spaghetti pasta.

Devein and peel the prawns and fry using medium-high heat on a skillet for five minutes (until pink) with a small amount of extra virgin olive oil. Then remove the prawns and set aside.

Add more olive oil and lower to medium-low heat, add the onion, garlic, a teaspoon of Aleppo red pepper flakes, and a teaspoon of dry oregano. Let simmer for two minutes. Add one cup of dry white wine and let simmer for an additional minute. Add one lemon zested and juiced, then toss in the parsley and tomatoes and continue to toss for 40 seconds. Sprinkle with kosher salt.

Introduce the spaghetti and prawns and toss around until you’re satisfied. Season with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Prawns Gumbo

In the U.S., gumbo originates from the Louisiana area. It’s a meat or seafood-based stew with heavy seasoning. It’s an all-American original dish with roots from French, Caribbean, Cajun, African, and Spanish cuisine that’s only started gaining popularity starting in the 1970s. Mastering gumbo would impress the friends and acquaintances you cook for, giving you the air of being well-rounded and cultured.

Using a saucepan that can accommodate 64 oz, sautee celery, green bell pepper, and onions using medium heat in extra virgin olive oil for five minutes or until the onions become see-through.

Throw in diced tomatoes, frozen okra, garlic powder, dried thyme, bay leaves, lemon pepper, black pepper, salt, chicken bouillon, and chicken broth. Cover and simmer for half an hour. Then add deveined and peeled prawns and re-cover and let cook for 15 minutes.

Mix flour and water and slowly add it in until your gumbo has the consistency of gravy. Serve and enjoy!
