  • Garlic4 cloves
  • Ginger1 tbsp, minced
  • Green Chili2
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp

  • Prawns300 g, shelled and deveined
  • Red Chili Powder1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the prawns: clean, rinse and dry; wet seafood steams instead of searing.

  2. 2

    Soften the onion and garlic in hot oil till the rawness is gone.

  3. 3

    Add the grated coconut and spices; toast thirty seconds so they bloom in the oil.

  4. 4

    Cook the prawns briefly; the moment it turns opaque, the clock is at zero.

  5. 5

    Finish off the heat with lemon, cilantro and a knob of butter if you like; serve immediately.

Chef's tip

Salt at the end, lightly — seafood concentrates as it cooks.
