Whisky And Chilli Tiger Prawns Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
  • Heat the lime juice, whisky and sugar in a saucepan over a medium heat, stirring gently, until the sugar has dissolved;
  • Once the sugar has all dissolved, stop stirring, turn up the heat and boil for some 5 to 7 minutes or so, or until the mixture becomes syrupy and thickens;
  • To tell if it is ready, dip a wooden spoon in the mixture and tap off the excess - some glaze should still stick to the spoon, but it will not be as thick as honey;
  • Stir in the finely grated lime zest, then remove the pan from the heat and set aside;
  • Put the prawns in a shallow ovenproof dish and sprinkle over the chilli;
  • Brush the prawns with the oil and then with the glaze;
  • Bake in the oven for some 10 to 15 minutes or so, or until the prawns turn pink and are just cooked through;
  • Remove from the oven and brush with more glaze, reserving any extra glaze for dipping, and set aside to cool slightly before serving;
  • Serve with a green leaf salad and chunks of crusty bread
