Zesty no-cook dipping sauce, known as leche de tigre, brightens up prawns with aromatic flavors, fresh juice, and a hint of spice. Diced mango and red onion bring a sweet touch.
Ingredients:
  • 25g lemongrass
  • 16g ginger
  • 15g chilli
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 10 fresh coriander sprigs (preferably with roots intact), leaves and stems reserved separately
  • 131.25 gm fresh lime juice
  • 42.00 gm fresh orange juice
  • 40.00 gm caster sugar
  • 36.60 gm fish sauce
  • 40.00 ml finely diced mango
  • 20.00 ml finely diced red onion
  • 1kg cooked Tiger prawns, peeled, with tails intact
Instructions:
  • Combine lemongrass, ginger, chili, garlic, coriander stems, and roots in a food processor until the chilis are finely chopped. Mix in lime juice, orange juice, sugar, and fish sauce. Allow the flavors to infuse at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Pass the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Chill covered in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until cold.
  • Combine the diced mango and red onion with the sauce. Garnish the prawns with fresh coriander leaves and serve with the sauce on the side for dipping.
