Drunken prawns
Charita Jones
1kg prawns, peeled and de-veined
100ml dark rum, plus a splash to finish
150ml pineapple juice
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp chilli sauce
100g coriander, chopped
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tbsp soft dark brown sugar
steamed rice, to serve
wedge of lime, to serve
1. Thread the prawns onto wooden skewers and put in a large frying pan. Pour over a mixture of the rum, pineapple juice, garlic, chilli sauce, coriander and Cajun seasoning. Leave to marinate for 1 hour.
2. Put the frying pan on the heat and slowly bring to the boil. Cook until the prawns are firm and pink.
3. Remove the prawns from the pan. Add the brown sugar to the juices and bubble until the mixture has reduced and thickened.
4. Add another splash of rum and return the prawns to the pan, turning them in the drunken juices. Serve with rice and a wedge of lime.
