For the Crabby Prawns and Sides

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Prawns

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Add the prawns and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mashed Potatoes

    In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter and mash until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Shallots

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced shallots and cook until golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Grill the Prawns

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Make the Citrus Lemon Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and mix well.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, serve a portion of mashed potatoes topped with caramelized shallots, the grilled prawns, and a crab cake. Drizzle with the citrus lemon vinaigrette before serving.
