Prawns in chili with asparagus

Ingredients

Serves 2-4

  • 12 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ lemon sea salt
  • 10-12 prawns, cleaned tails on
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely diced, or grated on a microplane
  • ½ shallot, finely diced
  • sea salt
  • ½ green chili, deseeded, finely chopped
  • ½ red chili, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp chopped chives
  • ½ lemon
  • garnish with red amaranth and chervil (optional)
  • ½ green chili, finely sliced

Method

  1. In a frying pan, drizzle the vegetable oil in and bring up to high heat. Toss in the asparagus spears and cook until blistered and softened, about 3-4 minutes. Finish with sea salt and a squeeze of lemon. Keep warm.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, sauté the garlic and shallots in the olive oil until just softened. Add the prawns and sauté, after about 1 min, add the red and green chilies. Toss in the chopped chives. Cook until just done and tip on to a plate to stop the cooking, finish with sea salt and a squeeze of lemon. Place the asparagus on a plate and top with the prawns.
  3. Garnish with fresh chili slices, red amaranth and chervil.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageTomorrow morning tune into James Martin Saturday Morning!  @saturdayjamesmartin with James Martin!  @jamesmartinchef I’m joined by the amazing @chef_lisa_goodwinallen @juliabradbury and @merlinfdc4 
We had so much fun cooking and drinking! 
I was so surprised that the production team picked tteokbokki (sweet and spicy Korean rice cakes) for me to make!  Neither James nor any of the guests have ever tired Tteok (chewy toothsome sticks made of rice flour)! It was so fun to have everyone try it for the first time. Tteokbokki virgins no more!! 😝😝😝

Menu highlights included a wild garlic pajeon with edamame hummus. Easter lamb braised in a ssamjang style sauce, kimchi fried rice topped with tofu and a wild garlic spring veggie salad.  Desserts included our version of a chocopie, grape soju infused sultana hot cross bun donuts and pine nut carrot cake!  Happy Easter and COYS!
