"Slip another shrimp on the Barbie", says Paul Hogan

 True Blue

Paul Hogan - "Come and say G'day"...... was the actual advertising slogan. Followed by, "I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for you". 
According to Hoges - that's what we do in downtown Oz.  I happen to agree with him.

So here's one way to  do it. 
Prawns with Romesco Sauce

To serve 4
16 large green king prawns, peeled with tail and head left intact.  De-vein by running knife down the back of prawn and removing the dark vein.

1 clove garlic crushed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lime

Brush prawns with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and cook over medium - high heat for 2-3 minutes each side or until they are pink and cooked through. (Or un - Hogeslike - grill on a baking tray)


Romesco Sauce
30ml olive oil (a splash)
1 clove garlic  / half a chilli / 1 sprig rosemary or handful of parsley
3 tomatoes skinned and deseeded
1 red capsicum, chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp paprika
1/3 cup almonds whole
Course & Pepper


Heat olive oil, add  chopped garlic, chilli and rosemary.  Cook gently for 1 minute, add tomato and capsicum, season with salt and pepper, and cook on a high heat for 2 minutes.  Blend with lemon, vinegar, almonds to make a smooth sauce.

Place prawns on a plate with lime cheeks and romesco sauce on the side as a dip.
