Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully trim the sharp heads, long antennae, and thin legs from the king prawns using scissors. Removing the sharp tip of the tail also makes them easier to eat.
Step 2
Gently lift the shell on the back of each prawn. Using a toothpick, pierce through the back to easily remove the digestive tract. This ensures a cleaner taste and texture.
Step 3
Spread the coarse sea salt evenly across the bottom of a frying pan, creating a layer about 1cm thick. The salt will help draw out excess moisture and ensure a perfectly grilled exterior.
Step 4
Arrange the prepared king prawns neatly on top of the salt layer. Try to leave a little space between each prawn so they cook evenly.
Step 5
Cover the frying pan with a lid and cook over medium heat. Depending on the freshness of the prawns, this usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Once the prawns have turned a vibrant red and are cooked through, flip them over to cook the other side. Once both sides are nicely grilled, your delicious salt-grilled prawns are ready! Transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 7
Behold the beautifully grilled king prawns! For an extra touch of flavor, you can serve them with a small dish of soy sauce or Tamsouce on the side.
Step 8
Now, let’s make the garlic butter prawns. In a clean frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is fully melted, add the prepared king prawns and sauté.
Step 9
Cook the prawns until they are coated in the fragrant butter and turn golden brown. Flip them to ensure they are cooked evenly on both sides. The combination of butter and prawns creates an irresistible aroma and flavor. Serve on a plate.
Step 10
And here are the wonderfully aromatic garlic butter king prawns! Enjoy these two delightful preparations of king prawns for a memorable meal. Both children and adults will surely love them!
