Cooking Instructions

@Keletso.Motau knocks it out the park (yet again!) with his brown butter prawns. Skewered onto lemongrass and smothered in an Asian-inspired sauce: these might just be the best prawns we’ve ever tasted. Think we’re exaggerating? The look on his face when he tastes them says it all!

  1. Clean the prawns and set them aside. 
  2. Place the butter in a saucepan on high and whisk until the butter turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.  
  3. Remove the brown butter from heat and add ginger, garlic, and lime zest, and stir off heat until fragrant for 30 seconds. 
  4. Pour ½ of the butter mixture over the prawns then skewer prawns onto lemongrass. 
  5. Grill prawns for 1 minute a side. 
  6. Toss the pawpaw, cucumber, red chilli, coriander and mint, finish off the salad with lime juice, and season to taste. 
  7. Serve the grilled prawns on a bed of the pawpaw salad and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 

Sound like a lot of effort?
