Prawns Spice Rub

This aromatic prawn spice rub is an essential store-cupboard addition for anyone looking to elevate their seafood dishes with minimal effort. By lightly toasting whole coriander seeds, the natural oils are released to create a deep, savoury base that perfectly complements the delicate sweetness of fresh prawns. The addition of dried dill and celery seeds provides a herbal complexity, making this a versatile seasoning that brings a professional finish to grilled or pan-fried fish.

As a low-sugar recipe, this dry rub is a healthy alternative to shop-bought marinades which are often loaded with hidden sweeteners. It is particularly suited to quick weeknight dinners or summer barbecues where you want maximum flavour without the prep work. Simply toss your prawns in a light coating of oil and a generous dusting of this blend before cooking, then serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a crisp green salad.
