Prawns are not just delicious, light to eat, tender in structure but also beautiful

in colour. If you love prawns, here are some ideas…

Being Asian and coming from Singapore, we love fresh seafood in all ways and all

shapes and forms. We are also prawn lovers by nature. We prepare prawns in so many

different ways that I can make a little cook book just about Prawns. In European

kitchen, there are many ways to prepare prawns as well, but not as many choices as

the Asians.

What I like in general in my Wild Thyme collection is a Fusion between the East and

the West that I created myself. Therefore, in my prawn dishes, I like to make a little

twist or a touch of the Orient to make the prawn dishes different from others.

Referring to the pictures of my prawn dishes, you might be able to get some ideas on

how to be creative and you will be surprise how easy but yet delicious it can be!

Below are just some of my favourite Prawn dishes:

• Tartlet of Prawns with Quail Eggs, Green Asparagus, Avocado and Mango

with Homemade Coriander Dressing

• Grilled Prawns with Lemon Grass

• Steamed Butterfly Prawns with finely strips Ginger, Spring Onion and minced

Garlic with a drop of Soy and Seame oil

• Prawn Dumplings, steamed, fried or in Soup

Well, I can keep on writing the dishes but that’s enough for today.

If you want to try something fast and quick, try this one:

Steamed Prawn with Ginger Soy and Sesame in Sticks

King Prawns coated with Ginger-Soy and Sesame

1) Get the amount of prawns that you would like to have

2) Peel the prawns, cleaned and then in sticks

3) Dip the sticks of Prawns in a mixture of Light Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, some

minced fresh Ginger and Garlic to you liking

4) Steamed the prawns for just 4-6 minutes, depending on the sizes

5) When ready, dip in some chopped Coriander and in some more of the mixture

if you like it stronger in flavour

Served on a bed of Salad or as an appetizer or you can steam them without sticks and

as a main dish instead.
