Make Curtis Stone's speedy Christmas barbecued prawns for a delicious dish in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients:
  • 2 firm but ripe avocados, halved, peeled, and pitted
  • 165.00 ml (loosely packed) fresh coriander leaves
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 21.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 400g streaky bacon, finely diced
  • 5 fresh corn cobs, peeled, silks removed, kernels removed
  • 1 large jalapeno chilli
  • 2.30 gm plus 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1kg raw banana prawns, (King prawns, or Tiger prawns), peeled and deveined
  • 2.50 gm sweet paprika
  • 1 lime, cut in half
  • Fresh coriander sprigs, for garnish
Instructions:
  • Prepare the avocado puree by blending ripe avocados, fresh coriander, garlic, lime juice, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the puree on a platter, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
  • Preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat and place a cast-iron frying pan directly on it.
  • Fry the bacon until crispy, approximately 6 minutes. Toss in corn kernels and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, toss the jalapeno with 1/2 teaspoon of oil and a sprinkle of salt. Grill the jalapeño for approximately 3 minutes per side until it blisters. Place in a bowl, cover, and let it steam for a few minutes. Peel and remove the seeds if preferred for milder heat, then dice. Mix the diced jalapeño into the corn mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, coat the prawns evenly with 1 tablespoon of oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Grill the prawns on the barbecue for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are cooked through and juicy.
  • Serve by generously spooning the flavorful corn mixture over the velvety avocado puree, and elegantly topping it with the plump prawns. Squeeze the vibrant lime halves over the prawns for a burst of freshness, and if desired, adorn with fragrant coriander sprigs. Enjoy this exquisite dish.
