PH Cooking Challenge - Shrimp/Prawn

[oilydan]

Foodies of PH...it has to be time for another competition?!?

I suggest the subject be the humble decapod crustacean - the Shrimp/Prawn. Such a versatile ingedient; can be cooked any number of ways, in a huge array of dishes from all over the world.

So, show us what you can do with your shrimp.

Post maximum of 3 pictures showing ingredients, prep/cooking and the final dish.

Pics/dishes to be posted from Tuesday 1st February onwards, closing Saturday 5th.

Prize may or may not be awarded for best dish as voted by your peers.

I'm up for this. Just placed an order for the ingredients I'll need!

Mmmmmmmmmm, might have to give this a bit of a "go".

Oily obviously has something up his sleeve (and its not a shrimp)

[oilydan]

Nothing sleeved; just love eatin' prawns. Any excuse!

Looking forward to stealing a whole load of recipe ideas for the future from this thread though

I hope my local supermarket pull-through. Last night they only had some old mushy shrimp, not even suitable for stock

'Ready'

[Cactussed]

Wicked! I'm in! (Just need to think of a recipe now...)

[Cotty]

I thought of something a bit different, but I can't find a recepi, might have to make it up as I go.

[Slaav]

May be about to post my first ever piccys on PH!

Know what I will cook and will have a bash....

Question is, Prawns, or sister things... all the way up to but NOT including Lobster?

[Colonial]

I think I may have an unfair advantage on this one.

So, King prawns, banana prawns, crystal bay prawns, school prawns...

Andrew,

I have a plan involving the Sambal Trasi you tried last weekend. Yours or mine for the tasting ? I feel a trip to the fishermans co-op is on the cards

Do Balmain Bugs count or does it have to be prawn ?

[oilydan]

I reckon we stick to prawns/shrimp to try and keep a level field.

Most contenders will be in the UK and restricted to Tesco or, if they are lucky, a decent local fishmonger.

No need to rub it in by using Obsiblue or a mud-lobster.

And remember, it's not how big it is.....it's what you cook with it.
