Coconut Prawns | |
(serves 6-8) | |
from the former Grill at Ryan Ranch in Monterey, California | |
Prawns Preparation | |
Select 4 jumbo prawns | |
Clean, peel and butterfly. Skewer onto 10" bamboo skewers. | |
Batter in authentic tempura mix. Roll and crust in a blend of shredded coconut and Japanese-style bread crumbs (panko). | |
Let the prawns lay carefully on a parchment sheet and freeze for one hour to allow the bonding of the breading and the proper crusting. | |
Deep fry in a high-quality shortening (canola oil) until crust turns golden brown. Serve with a pineapple glaze and a fresh pineapple wedge. | |
Pineapple Glaze Ingredients: | |
Dice one fresh red bell pepper | 1/2 small white onion |
2 teaspoons seasoned rice wine vinegar | 1 teaspoon sambal chili paste |
1 sm. can pineapple chunks in natural juice (Hawaiian) | |
Preparation: | |
Combine all ingredients in a small pot and simmer and blend with a stick blender. Chill and serve on a plate next to a pineapple wedge (dipping sauce and garnish). Place pineapple skewers with prawns into pineapple wedge so they stand upright for excellent presentation and serve. Bon appetite! |
