Green tea prawn skewers
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 24 prawns
- 5 cl fish stock
- 1 tablespoon powdered green tea
- 15 cl light single cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon chilli paste
- 4 pinches ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon chives
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Method:
This recipe is simple and fairly quick to prepare. Start by peeling the prawns, removing the head and shell while keeping the tail intact. Cook them for around 5 minutes on each side, with the paprika, parsley, olive oil, chilli, garlic and nutmeg. It’s already starting to smell amazing!
Thread 3 or 4 prawns onto each skewer, then set aside and keep warm. In a saucepan, pour the fish stock with a little water, then reduce over high heat until you have about 1 tablespoon of liquid.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, then add the green tea and cream to the fish stock. Reduce by half again over medium heat, then add the lemon juice and season with pepper. Mix everything together well!
To finish, serve your skewers generously drizzled with the green tea sauce and a sprinkle of chives. You can pair this delicious recipe with simply some wholegrain rice. The perfect combination for a balanced meal, at lunch or dinner!
