Roasted Chilli Prawns

Bold, smokey, and beautifully spiced—these succulent shell-on prawns are grilled to perfection for a vibrant taste of the Mediterranean.
 

The Signature Spice – Fire-Roasted Chilli Prawns

By charring fresh chillies and garlic before blending them into a rich, piquant marinade.

 

The secret to restaurant-quality grilled prawns lies in the “sear.” The Whatever Pan’s cast aluminium construction provides the intense, even heat required to char the shells and create deep griddle lines in minutes, locking in the moisture. Its versatile design allows you to transition from toastng aromatics on the stovetop to high-heat grilling effortlessly. Using the pan to first blister the chillies and garlic intensifies their natural sugars, resulting in a complex, smokey paste that makes these prawns truly unforgettable. Finish with a bright squeeze of lemon to cut through the heat, and serve straight from the pan for a rustic yet professional presentation.

24 large raw shell-on prawns 4 fresh red chillies 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled 3 tbsp tomato purée 1 tsp chilli flakes 3 tbsp red wine vinegar 2 tsp paprika 2 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp water Salt, to taste Lemon wedges, to serve

1 Place your Whatever Pan over medium heat. Dry-fry the whole chillies and unpeeled garlic cloves for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally until the skins are darkened and blistered.

2 Remove from the pan. Once cool enough to handle, peel the garlic and deseed the chillies.

3 In a blender, combine the charred chillies, peeled garlic, tomato purée, chilli flakes, red wine vinegar, paprika, and olive oil.

4 Add 3 tbsp of water and a pinch of salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth, vibrant paste.

5 Using a sharp Chopaholic Knife, cut a shallow slit down the back of each prawn to de-vein.

6 Toss the prawns in half of the chilli marinade. Thread them onto skewers to ensure even cooking and easy flipping.

7 Wipe your Whatever Pan and return to a medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 5 minutes per side.

8 You’ll know they are ready when the shells turn a deep, opaque pink and distinct grill lines appear.

9 Squeeze fresh lemon wedges over the hot prawns to brighten the flavors.

10 Serve immediately with the remaining marinade on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
