Prawns with watermelon rind dressing
The astringent melon rind is a great foil for the richness of jumbo prawns, which can be pan-fried if preferred.
Ingredients
300g watermelon rind
200ml extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 tsp brown sugar
1 cup picked coriander leaves, plus extra to garnish
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Salt and pepper
8 jumbo prawns, peeled, heads and tails left on
Vegetable oil
Method
Pre-heat a barbecue or grill to medium. Use a bar or stick blender to puree the melon rind, olive oil, chilli flakes, garlic, sugar and coriander, fresh and ground. Season well with salt and pepper. Brush prawns with a little vegetable oil, season and grill until just cooked.
Serve with melon rind dressing and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
