This vibrant peel-and-eat hot pepper prawns dish is an aromatic seafood experience that brings a touch of Caribbean-inspired heat to your table. Classified as a high-protein option, the large prawns are gently poached in a fragrant broth infused with fiery Scotch bonnet chillies, fresh thyme and earthy allspice. This cooking method ensures the shellfish remains incredibly succulent while absorbing the complex, savoury notes of the aromatics.
Perfect as a relaxed starter or a light main course, these prawns are designed for social dining. Serving them in their shells helps to retain maximum moisture and depth of flavour, providing a tactile and engaging meal for your guests. Pair them with a cooling dip or a crisp green salad for a balanced, nutritious lunch that is as healthy as it is satisfying.
