PRAWN SATAY WITH PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE
Barbecue
Ingredients
20 large green prawns (about 450g), peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon chilli powder
¼ teaspoon curry powder
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
For the sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
¼ cup smooth peanut butter
½ cup water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or more, to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Method
To make the sauce, take a small saucepan, add the oil and warm over medium high heat. Add
the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
Add ½ cup of water, followed by the peanut butter, soy sauce, pepper and Tobasco sauce.
Whisk until smooth. When the sauce comes to a simmer, remove it from the heat.
Just before serving, reheat the sauce over medium heat and add the lime juice and 2 to 3
tablespoons of water, whisking vigorously to achieve a smooth consistency.
Lightly brush or spray the prawns with oil. Season with the chilli powder, curry powder,
pepper and salt. Thread the prawns onto skewers, either 1 per skewer for hors d’oeuvres or 4
per skewer for a main course. Barbecue for 1 to 2 minutes each side, or until opaque.
Serve with the peanut dipping sauce.
