Ingredients

  1. 200g King prawns, peeled and deveined
  2. 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  3. Juice and zest of 1 lime
  4. 1 tbsp olive oil
  5. 1 tsp ground cumin
  6. 1 tsp smoked paprika
  7. Salt and pepper, to taste
  8. 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  9. 1 tbsp chipotle sauce
  10. 1 clove garlic, minced
  11. Fresh coriander leaves, to garnish
  12. Lime wedges, to serve

Method

  1. In a bowl, combine the chopped red chilli, lime juice and zest, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
  2. Add the king prawns to the bowl and toss to coat them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
  3. While the prawns marinate, make the chipotle mayonnaise by mixing mayonnaise, chipotle sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
  4. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through.
  5. Remove the prawns from the pan and arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle the chipotle mayonnaise over the prawns.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip

For bold flavour and juicy texture, marinate the king prawns just long enough to absorb the chilli, lime, and spice without letting the citrus start to cure the seafood. Cook the prawns over high heat so they develop light caramelisation while staying tender and succulent inside. The smoky chipotle mayonnaise adds richness and depth that perfectly balances the fresh citrus and spice, making this dish ideal served hot straight from the pan with extra lime squeezed over just before eating.
