Pan-Seared Jumbo Prawns with Lemon Vinaigrette Salad, Fresh Ginger, Chives, and Pink Peppercorns
- 20 prawns or king prawns
- 6 g peeled and grated fresh ginger
- 150 g diced tomato
- 1 bunch chives
- 200 g Batavia lettuce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 g freeze-dried pink peppercorns
- 8 cl lemon vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons aromatic oils
- 2 tablespoons lemon vinaigrette
Instructions
- Prepare the aromatic oils.
- Finely chop the chives.
- Peel, wash, and drain the Batavia lettuce.
- Dress the lettuce with lemon vinaigrette.
- Shell the prawns, keeping the head and tail end intact. Pan-fry in olive oil for 1 minute per side, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Gently warm the mixture by adding grated ginger, chopped chives, diced tomatoes, and pink peppercorns—avoid boiling. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Plate: Form a dome of dressed salad in the plate's center. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika around the base. Arrange prawns in a ring atop the salad. Drizzle each with aromatic oils for even flavor distribution.
