Ingredients

  1. 800g Skull Island prawns, peeled and deveined
  2. 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  3. ½ cup dashi stock
  4. 1 tbsp shoyu (Japanese soy sauce)
  5. 1 tsp sesame oil
  6. 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  7. 100g samphire, rinsed and trimmed
  8. 1 small clove garlic, finely grated
  9. Juice of ½ lemon
  10. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Peel and devein the Skull Island Prawns. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the dashi stock, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.
  4. Add the prawns to the saucepan and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning them until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the prawns and set aside.
  5. In the same saucepan, add the sesame seeds and cook for another 1-2 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
  6. In a separate pan, blanch the samphire in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  7. To serve, plate the prawns and samphire, then pour the dashi butter sauce over the prawns. Garnish with fresh coriander or chives if desired.
  8. Serve with steamed rice or as a side dish and enjoy!

Chef's Tip

For perfectly cooked Skull Island prawns, keep the heat gentle once they enter the dashi butter sauce so they stay tender, sweet, and juicy. The delicate umami flavours of dashi, shoyu, and sesame are designed to enhance the natural richness of the prawns rather than overpower them. Samphire adds a fresh coastal salinity that balances the buttery sauce beautifully, so avoid over-seasoning the dish. Serve immediately while the sauce is glossy and warm for the best texture and flavour.
