Will Greenwood's Nam Pla Prik Prawns for our 50 recipes

OVERVIEW

These beautiful, sustainably sourced shell-on tiger prawns are dressed in a classic Thai sauce known as nam pla prik. Traditionally, this is used as a dipping sauce, but it works just as well as a marinade and dressing.

MAKE YOUR DRESSING

First make the dressing. In a Cast Iron Sauce Pot, melt the palm sugar, add the fish sauce, lime juice, water and lime leaves, and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Once cooled add the garlic and chillies. This can be made far in advance.

GRILL YOUR PRAWNS

Place the prawns on the hot plancha and use a Basting Brush to apply the sauce. Turn the prawns and continue to baste until cooked through. Serve on a sharing plate and finish with more of the sauce. Garnish with the coriander leaves, spring onions and lime wedges.
