Instructions

  • Peel and clean the prawns but keep the tails on. Use paper towels to dry them very well.
  • Add the prawns to a mixing bowl and drizzle well with olive oil. Toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle with the sea salt, garlic and onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano and red pepper flakes.
  • Use your hand and make sure to coat the prawns in all the seasonings all over.
  • Allow them to rest at room temperature for 2o minutes while working on the mango chimichurri.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet on medium flame. Once hot add the prawns without touching each other. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes per side depending on the size of the prawns, until they curl up and start turning pink.
  • Make sure not to overcook them or they will be rubbery.
  • Spoon some of the basil mango chimichurri on a plate and top with the shrimp. Drizzle some more mango chimichurri on top and garnish with the fresh basil. Finish with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil .Saver the jumbo prawns with a glass of white wine !
