Prawns with coriander jalapeno pesto and mayo

Ingredients

Homemade mayonnaise (see Tips):
2 egg yolks
1 tsp Dijon mustard
A few grindings of NOMU Sea Salt
1 cup (250ml) canola oil
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp boiling water (optional)

Coriander jalapeno pesto:
Large handful coriander
2 mild green jalapeno peppers, chopped and deseeded
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 sliced spring onions, finely chopped
1 small shallot, chopped
Juice of half a lime
3 tbsp NOMU Extra Virgin Olive Oil
A few grindings of NOMU Sea Salt

Prawns:
24 large prawns, cleaned
4 tbsp NOMU Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp NOMU Coriander and Chilli Cook Salt

Directions

Mayonnaise:

Place the egg yolks, mustard and salt in a small food processor and whizz to combine. With the motor running, add the oil in a very slow, steady stream until you have a thick, pale mayonnaise. Add the lemon juice and season to taste. With the motor still running, add the boiling water, if using,  to make it extra light and creamy.

 

Coriander jalapeno pesto:

Wash and trim the coriander leaves. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until well blended but still quite chunky. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

 

Prawns:

Place the cleaned prawns in a bowl, drizzle with the Olive Oil, sprinkle with the Cook’s Salt and toss well to coat.

Heat a griddle pan till hot and sear the prawns until nicely charred and pink on the outside and just cooked on the inside. (Also delicious barbequed!)

Serve immediately with coriander pesto and homemade lemony mayo with extra NOMU Chilli and Coriander Cook’s Salt on the side.

 

Tip: Don’t have the time or energy to make homemade mayo? Then use 1 cup of our delicious NOMU MAYU
