Equipment
- mini cast iron pans, set of four
Ingredients
- 24 large spot prawns or large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons pickled ginger with pickling liquid chopped
- ¼ cup gin
- 1 large baguette, gluten-free if necessary
Instructions
- Remove the shells from the prawns and set aside. This task is much easier when the prawns are slightly frozen. You can leave the tails on, if you'd like.
- Melt butter in a skillet over low heat.
- Add the chopped green onions and stir for a minute until slightly softened.
- Add the prawns. Cook for no more than 2 minutes or until just translucent.
- Add the chopped pickled ginger, a little of the ginger juice from the jar, and the gin.
- Cook for one more minute.
- Serve immediately, right in the skillet(s) with a crusty baguette for dipping.
Notes
Don't forget to add a tablespoon or two of the liquid from the pickled ginger. It adds a lot of flavour.
