Waffle Batter Prawns – Superb Crispy Deep-Fried Prawns – Crispy Fried Shrimp with a Difference!

Waffle Batter Prawns

Waffle Batter Prawns - Superb Crispy Deep-Fried Prawns - Crispy Fried Shrimp with a Difference!
Author: 
Recipe type: Seafood
Serves: 4-6
 
In today's episode we're going to take a novel approach to deep-fried prawns, when we use a classic waffle batter, with few adjustments, and make crispy, golden deep-fried prawns.
Ingredients
  • 1Kg Prawns
  • 160g All-purpose flour
  • 2.5ml Salt
  • 10ml Baking powder
  • 15ml Sugar
  • 5ml Garlic powder
  • 5ml Ground ginger
  • 5ml White pepper
  • 180ml Warm milk
  • 40ml Roasted sesame oil
  • 1 Egg
  • Oil for deep-frying
Instructions
  1. In today's episode we're going to take a novel approach to deep-fried prawns, when we use a classic waffle batter, with few adjustments, and make crispy, golden deep-fried prawns.
  2. Starting with the batter, place 160g all-purpose flour in a mixing bowl.
  3. Add 2.5ml salt, 10ml baking powder, 15ml sugar, 5ml each garlic powder, ground ginger and white pepper, 40ml roasted sesame oil, 180ml warm milk and one large egg.
  4. Whisk these all together until smooth, then put it aside to rest.
  5. Take out a kilogram of prawns. Snap the heads off and use your scissors to cut the shell up to and including the second last segment.
  6. Peel away the shell keeping the tail in tact, then remove the vein from the prawns. Continue until all of the prawns are shelled.
  7. Prawns have a very strong muscle that runs down the length of their belly. To prevent the prawns from from curling up during frying, you need to make shallow incisions through the muscle at each segment of the prawn.
  8. Back to the batter. In most cases, you will need to thin the batter a little before use. Do this by adding small quantities of milk and whisking it in thoroughly until you achieve a smooth running batter. I normally need to add 30 to 50ml of milk to do this.
  9. Heat a large pan of oil to 160c.
  10. Dip the prawns one by one in the batter and carefully lower them into the oil.
  11. Fry the prawns until crisp and golden. This will take 2 to 3 minutes, turning halfway through yo ensure even browning.
  12. Use a pair of tongs to remove the prawns as they become ready and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  13. The prawns are ideal as a starter or main course, served with the accompaniments of your choice.

Ingredients
  • Fish fillets
  • Fine dried breadcrumbs

  7. Add 30g butter and 30ml of oil to a large pan and heat this over medium high heat.
  8. When the pan is nice and hot, add the fillets skin side up in the pan.

Fish Nuggets - How to Make Golden, Crispy Fish Nuggets - Homemade Fish Nuggets
Author: 
Recipe type: Seafood / Fish
 
These fish nuggets are out of this world. Spiced up with cracked black pepper and cayenne, they can serve as a main course, as part of a seafood platter, or as snacks at a cocktail party... and if you omit the cayenne pepper, kids will love them too.
Ingredients
  • 800g Monkfish, or any firm white fish
  • 250g All-purpose flour
  • 30ml Cracked black pepper
  • 15ml Cayenne pepper
  • 15ml Fine salt
  • 4 Eggs
Instructions
  1. Starting with the coating, combine the salt, cracked black pepper and cayenne pepper with the all-purpose flour and stir this until totally combined.
  2. Place the eggs in a jug and whisk these thoroughly until all of the albumen has broken down.
  3. Pour the eggs into a large bowl.
  4. For the fish, I am using monkfish, but you can use any firm fish.
  5. Remove the fillets from the spine and cut the fish into bite-size pieces.
  6. To coat the nuggets, start by sprinkling a layer of the seasoned flour over a large platter. This is where the coated fish will set, and the thin layer of flour will prevent the coating from sticking to the platter and getting damaged. Put this aside.
  7. Drop 6 to 8 pieces of fish into the seasoned flour and toss them to coat. This dries the surface of the fish in preparation for the egg. Transfer these to another platter and continue until all of the fish has had its first coating.
  8. Working with one nugget at a time, dip the nugget in the egg to wet all of the flour, then transfer it to the flour to get a good solid coating all over. Transfer this to the setting platter and continue until all of the nuggets are coated.
  9. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes before continuing.
  10. Half fill a large pan with oil and heat this to 160c or 320f. Carefully lower the nuggets into the oil and fry the fish for 3 minutes until crispy and golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove the nuggets from the oil and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  11. For this quantity of fish, you will need to fry the nuggets in 2 or 3 batches.
  12. Serve the nuggets immediately with lemon or lime wedges and dipping sauces and accompaniments of your choice.

Serves: 4
 
Today we're going to grill a batch of seriously tasty prawn and monkfish skewers. Monkfish is found worldwide and is revered for its remarkable similarity in texture and taste to crayfish and lobster. Combine this with the prawns and you have an amazing flavor explosion.
Ingredients
  • 32 Medium size prawns
  • 800g Monkfish tails
  • 16 x 6 inch Bamboo skewers (150mm)
  • 150g Butter
  • 30g Crushed garlic
  • 2 Small lemons
  • Salt to season
  • 4 Portions cooked rice (according to the package instructions)
Instructions
  1. Start with 32 medium size prawns. Use a sharp scissors to cut down the spine of each prawn up until and including the second last segment of the shell.
  2. Use toothpick to hook out the vein. Put this aside and continue until all of the prawns are deveined.
  3. Monkfish only has a central bone. Use a sharp knife to cut the fillets from the bone. For this quantity of prawns, you will need about 800g of monkfish fillets.
  4. Cut through the fillets at an acute angle to get strips of fish 50mm or 2 inches in length.
  5. You will need 16 x 6 inch or 150mm thin bamboo skewers.
  6. Press a skewer through the prawn just behind the head. Press another skewer through the prawn just above the second last segment. Notice that the prawn is lying sideways. The skewers enter the belly and exit the spine.
  7. Thread a strip of monkfish onto the skewers.
  8. Follow this with another prawn, and so on, until each kebab has 4 prawns and 3 strips of monkfish.
  9. Continue until all 8 skewers are complete.
  10. Heat a large pan over high heat. Add the butter.
  11. Once the butter is sizzling, add the garlic. Stir this around the pan for just a few seconds before adding the skewers.
  12. If your pan is not as large as this one, use a smaller pan, half the butter and half the garlic and fry 2 batches.
  13. Fry the skewers for 4 to 5 minutes. Squeeze the fresh lemon over the prawns.
  14. Turn the skewers, squeeze the remaining lemon over the prawns and season liberally with salt. Continue frying for 4 to 5 minutes.

  19. Serve a bed of rice onto each platter and top each with 2 of the seafood skewers.
  20. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and the accompaniments of your choice.

How to Make Thai Southern Style Curry - How to Make the Curry Paste, and How to Use It
Author: 
Recipe type: Curry
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 2
 
Thai cuisine has many different curry pastes, green, red, yellow, Mussaman and orange to name just a few. One of the least known, but in my opinion, the tastiest is southern curry paste. Displaying the trademark sweet, sour, salty and hot, this is a sure winner with any meat.
Ingredients
For the Paste
  • 15-30ml Dried chilli flakes (more if you want fire)
  • 1.25ml Salt
  • Whites of 6 spring onions
  • 45ml Ginger, finely chopped
  • 45ml Garlic, finely chopped
  • 30ml Lemongrass, chopped
  • 15ml Ground coriander seed
  • 7.5ml Ground cumin seed
  • 15ml White vinegar
For the Rest
  • 400g Protein of your choice
  • 50g Butter or oil
  • 100ml Chicken stock
  • 15ml Fish sauce (if not using seafood as your protein)
  • 15ml Sugar
  • 2.5ml Salt
  • 30ml White vinegar
  • Fresh coriander to garnish
Instructions
  1. Starting with the paste, measure out the chilli flakes, salt, spring onion whites, chopped garlic, chopped ginger, chopped lemongrass, ground coriander, ground cumin and white wine vinegar.
  2. Place all of these in tall jug and zap them with your stick blender until you have a thick paste.
  3. There we have the paste... now how to use it....
  4. Here I have 400g of fresh oysters, however you can use any protein of your choice... anything from prawns to chicken livers.
  5. Measure out the butter, salt, sugar, white wine vinegar and chicken stock.
  6. Heat a large pan over high heat and add the butter.
  7. When the butter is bubbling add the curry paste.
  8. Stir this in until the butter is totally incorporated into the paste.
  9. Pour in the vinegar, sugar and salt and stir to combine (and fish sauce if you're not using seafood as your protein)
  10. Add the protein of your choice and stir this into the sauce.
  11. Reduce the heat to medium and allow this to simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until the protein is cooked through.
  12. Serve the curry on top of noodles or Thai fragrant rice garnished with fresh coriander.
  13. In closing, traditionally oil would be used in place of the butter, however, the butter version really is much better.

How to Make the Ultimate Fish Burger - The Best Crispy Deep Fried Fish Burger
Author: 
Recipe type: Fish / Seafood
Serves: 2
 
In search of the ultimate fish burger, you need a very special fish. Monkfish has a texture and flavor very similar to crayfish and lobster. In fact so similar that many restaurants serve monkfish as crayfish thermador. This is the fish we need to make the ultimate fish burger.
Ingredients
  • 600g Monkfish tail
  • 80ml All-purpose flour
  • 80ml Cornflour
  • 80ml Finely crushed corn flakes
  • 15ml Salt
  • 15ml Lemon pepper
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Large burger buns
  • Frilly lettuce
  • Mayonnaise
  • Sliced pickled gherkin
  • Fresh lemon to squeeze
Instructions
  1. Cut the 2 fillets away from the spine of the fish. The fillets are long and fat. Cut 4 inches away from the thicker ends of the fillets for the burgers and save the thinner ends for other recipes.
  2. Use a sharp knife to butterfly the fillets from the outer edge of the meat.
  3. For the coating, combine the all-purpose flour, corn flour, finely crush corn flakes, salt and lemon pepper.
  4. Whisk 2 eggs and pour them into a bowl.
  5. Before coating the fish, sprinkle some of the seasoned flour over a platter. This is where the coated fish will set and the layer of flour prevents the coating from sticking to the platter and getting damaged.
  6. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture to coat it all over.
  7. Dunk the fish in the egg making sure to wet all of the flour.
  8. Return the fish to the flour making sure to get a good solid coating.
  9. Transfer the coated fish to the platter to set and continue with the second fillet. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes.
  10. While the coating sets, slice and butter the burger buns. Top the buns with a healthy dose of frilly lettuce, a dollop of mayonnaise, and sliced pickled gherkin.
  11. Heat a large pan of oil to a temperature of 180c or 350f.
  12. Carefully lower the fish into the oil and fry this for 6 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  13. Remove the fish from the oil and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  14. Transfer the fish to the buns, give each one a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice and serve immediately.

Tuna Terrine Cucumbers - Cucumber Wedges Filled with Gelatin Tuna Terrine!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Fish / Seafood
Cuisine: French
Prep time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 36-40
 
Hollowed cucumbers filled with tuna terrine make amazing finger snacks, starters or accompaniments to your main meal.
Ingredients
  • ¼ Red pepper, finely chopped
  • 4 Tbs Chopped garlic chives
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 100g Mayonnaise
  • 200g Canned shredded tuna, drained (can also use salmon)
  • 18-20 x 5cm (2 inch) pieces of English cucumber
  • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
For the Gelatin
  • 25ml Powdered gelatin
  • 225ml Hot water
  • 275ml Cold water
Instructions
  1. Finely chop the red pepper and garlic chives. Grate the rind of one lemon and measure out the mayonnaise. Cut 18 to 20 x 5cm or 2 inch lengths of cucumber and use a apple corer to remove the centers from these.
  2. Place the tuna in a jug and add the lemon zest, peppers, chives and mayonnaise.
  3. To mix the gelatin, pour 225ml of hot water into a small jug and add the powdered gelatin. Stir this for a minute or 2 until it is totally dissolved. Pour this into a larger jug and top it up with cold water to a total of 500ml.
  4. Stir to combine, then pour this into the jug containing the main ingredients. Stir this until everything is combined and the mayonnaise has totally dissolved then put this aside.
  5. Use the back of a spoon to put a coating of butter onto a baking sheet or pan. Press the cucumbers into the butter.
  6. Place the baking sheet or pan on top of an ice block or over another large pan filled with ice. This sets the butter hard and totally seals the bases of the cucumbers. Allow this to set for 5 minutes.
  7. Fill the cucumbers with the terrine mixture. Don't be too concerned with spillage as this will simply wipe away once the gelatin has set. Place these in your refrigerator.
  8. Any leftover filling can be molded in ramekins.
  9. After an hour or so the terrine will have set. This timing depends largely on the temperature of your refrigerator. Remove them from the fridge and pull the cucumbers free from the butter. Wipe off any spillage from the edges.
  10. Use a razor sharp knife to slice wafer thin slices from each end of the cucumber pieces to neaten up the ends. Slice the cucumber pieces at an angle and you're done.
  11. To unmold the ramekins simply run a thin blade round the edge of the ramekins and pop them out onto the plate.

Product Review - Sushi Making Kit - Manual Sushi Machine - Make Sushi at Home!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Sushi
Cuisine: Japanese
 
In this episode we're doing a quick product review of a manual sushi making kit. While do the review, I am also making a very simple, super tasty shrimp sushi.
Ingredients
  • 2 Batches sushi rice
  • 4 Spring onions
  • ¼ Red pepper (or red chilli / or pepperdew)
  • 250g Shrimp meat
Instructions
  1. For the filling, finely chop the spring onions and peppers and mix these together. Flash fry the shrimp over extreme heat and roughly chop these into bits.
  2. You will also need 2 batches of the sushi rice we prepared in the previous episode.
  3. Now for the machine. Made from a reasonably good quality high density plastic, the kit comes with 4 different moulds.
  4. One for round suchi, one for small square sushi, one for triangular sushi and finally one to make heart shaped sushi.
  5. The set includes the groover, tamper, spoon and spatula.
  6. The process for making the sushi is identical for all of the shapes. Press a sheet of nori into the mould. Fill the mould to halfway with the rice. Use the groover to press a furrow into the rice.
