Ingredients

12 shell-on mozambican prawns
4 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
2 limes or lemons
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/2 a bunch of fresh coriander
1 fresh red chilli
4 cm piece of ginger
2 clove of garlic
a dash of soy sauce
1 stem fresh lemon grass ( if you can get it )

Directions

Lay the prawns out on a board in 2 rows of 6, side by side like a rack of ribs, with the heads all facing the same way. Skewer each rack together with 3 skewers (roughly 20cm in length), one through the middle and one to either side. Put aside.
Mix the sweet chilli sauce, the zest and juice of 1 lime and the fish sauce together in a tray. Pick the coriander leaves and put to one side, then finely slice the stalks and add them to the tray. Deseed and finely slice the chilli and peel and finely grate the ginger, then scatter into tray. Crush in the garlic (and lemongrass if you have it) , then give everything a really good mix up. Add the racks of prawns, then turn over a few times in the marinade to coat really well. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
When you’re ready, preheat the braai. Cook the racks on a hot braai for 4 – 5 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, turning every 30 seconds and basting with the remaining marinade.
Once cooked, remove to a serving board, squeeze over the juice from the remaining lime/lemon, sprinkle with the reserved coriander leaves, then serve with a fresh green salad, or as part of a barbecue spread.

Summer Braai Recipe Ideas, Fish Braai Recipes

Ingredients

spicy sauce:

4 tbsp. Hoisin sauce
2tbsp. Rice vinegar
2 tbsp. Low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp. Mirin
½ tsp. Garlic chili paste
1 tbsp. Crushed fresh ginger
juice of ½ lime.
Vegetable oil or olive oil for garnishing
Thinly sliced spring onions, sesame seeds

4 Pieces of 115 grams of salmon fillets with skin

Directions

First, you need to sprinkle salt on the salmon fillets an hour before putting it over the grill. It will be even better if you keep it a night before to let the salt embed properly in the fillet.
You can use sealing plastic over the bowl and keep it inside the refrigerator. Maintain a mild temperature to avoid over-freezing.…
Take a bowl, big enough to fluff up Hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, garlic chili paste and lime juice.
After whisking the ingredients, season the salmon by massaging. Keep it for half an hour to let the seasoning sink in.
Now, preheat the braai on high
Place the salmon’s skin part unto the braai grill, brush lightly with sauce and close the lid for 4 minutes if you are cooking in high heat and 6 minutes if on low heat.
After 4 minutes, flip the side carefully using a wide spatula to avoid flaking. This time, you need to cook only for 2 minutes.
You’ll see your salmon’s middle part turning pinkish and are now cooked medium-rare.
Use a spatula to take out the fillet. You can garnish it with spring onion and sesame seeds. Pour the sauce to enrich the taste.
