Ingredients

  1. 800g Tiger Prawns, peeled and deveined
  2. 200g baby spinach leaves
  3. 2 rashers streaky bacon, finely chopped
  4. 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  5. 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  6. 2 tbsp olive oil
  7. 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  8. 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  9. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  10. Juice of ½ lemon (optional, for brightness)

Method

  1. Peel and devein the skull island tiger prawns. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
  2. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the chopped red chilli and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  4. Next, add the prawns to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the prawns and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
  6. In the same pan, add the spinach and toss until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  7. To serve, place the cooked spinach on a plate, top with prawns, crispy bacon, and drizzle with the bacon-chilli vinaigrette. Serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side.

Chef's Tip

For juicy tiger prawns with maximum flavour, cook them quickly over medium-high heat just until they turn pink and lightly caramelised on the edges. Overcooking can make the prawns firm and dry, so remove them from the pan as soon as they curl naturally and become opaque. The smoky bacon and chilli vinaigrette adds richness and heat, while the spinach balances the dish with freshness and texture. Finish with a squeeze of lemon just before serving to brighten the flavours and cut through the savoury bacon notes.
