Prawns Plancha-Style

Crispy fried on the plancha with garlic, lemon and heat

For whom?
For outdoor cooks who love simplicity, atmosphere and flavour. A dish that impresses without complicated fuss.

Ingredients (for 4 people):

• 500 g large raw prawns (peeled, with tail)
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 1 red chilli pepper, in thin rings
• Juice of half a lemon
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Fresh parsley, roughly chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

What you need:

• Fire bowl with cooking ring (plancha)
• Coconut briquettes for a long-lasting, even base glow
• Wood for the fire in the cone (optional for atmosphere and warmth)

How to make it:

1. Fire preparation
   Light the coconut briquettes in the cone of the plancha. Optionally add some wood for extra atmosphere. Let the cooking ring heat up properly – on the hot centre you cook quickly and powerfully, on the outside you keep warm.
2. Marinating
   Mix the prawns with garlic, chilli, lemon juice, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Leave to marinate for approx. 10 minutes.
3. Cooking on the ring
   Pour a little oil on the plancha and place the prawns on the hot part of the ring. Cook them in 1-2 minutes per side until nicely pink and lightly crispy. Then slide them to the cooler zone to keep warm or cook gently.
4. Serving
   Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately. Delicious with baguette, aioli or grilled lemon halves (also from the ring!).
