Years whizz by and I never feel as if I have much to show for the passing of time. However a quick scan of my posts for 2016 shows that I did focus on many of the things I value most last year: Family and Friends We bought a house and moved in. All the kids love […]
I love nibbles, in particular anything that involves prawns. This dish is dead easy to make, can be prepared ahead of time then assembled at the last minute and it looks fancy and festive. This isn’t so much as a recipe as an idea for you to execute when you want to make a tasty treat for friends without any stress.
This recipe makes about 50 nibbles.
Ingredients
500g raw peeled prawns ( I used frozen Aldi prawns which only cost $12)
Cajun spice (sometimes called blackening mix for fish)
3 large telegraph cucumbers
Bunch of fresh coriander (or mint would probably work well too)
Method
Fry the prawns for a couple of minutes mixing in about 4 teaspoons of cajun spice – or add a few teaspoons extra for an even spicier effect. The spice should coat the prawns evenly, adding a pretty red, brown and orange speckle to the pink prawn flesh.
You can also fry the prawns the day before and keep them in a tupperware overnight. If assembing everything on the day just make sure the prawns are completely cool.
Wash the cucumbers and, if you wish, peel them to create a striped effect. Or just leave the skin on for more roughage!
Now slice the cucumbers into thick slices about 0.5cm thick. You can prepare the cucumber the day before and keep it in a tupperware of water in the fridge overnight. Just drain it thoroughly before assembing everything.
To serve: Place the cucumber slices on two large trays, position a coriander leaf on top of the cucumber and a spicy prawn on top of it all.
Voila! Serve chilled with a smile and drinks.
