Ingredients
- 500g king prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 red chilli, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- Juice and zest of 2 limes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp chipotle sauce (or to taste)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
Method
- 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.
- 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.
- While the prawns marinate, make the chipotle mayonnaise by mixing mayonnaise, chipotle sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
- 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.
- Remove the prawns from the pan and arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle the chipotle mayonnaise over the prawns.
- Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest. Enjoy!
