Spot Prawn Experiment Night:
First Course: Simply boiled.
Lo family recipe for the vinaigrette. Raw shallots, raw garlic, lemon, japanese rice vinegar, mirin, soy and garlic chili paste and a touch of korean sesame oil.
Second Course: Agedashi Tofu
Just giving the peeps a chance to sort their stomachs out until it starts getting real.
Third Course: Sashimi. Shredded daikon and shiso from my garden.
Sometimes, simple is best.
Fourth Course: 椒鹽 Fried Heads
Traditional Chinese recipe with Szechuan peppercorns, jalapenos and garlic.
Toasted and ground the Szechuan peppercorns myself.
Can't let those heads go to waste.
Fifth Course: Spot Prawn Bisque (not pictured)
Just imagine a less red lobster bisque.
It tasted ok, but looks-wise, it's nothing special.
Just some soup to gulp down.
Sixth Course: Spot Prawn Ceviche
Featuring random stuff from the garden.Chervil, golden lemon thyme, rosemary flowers, so micro fennel and cilantro and chive flowers.
Also used radish, Japanese nori paste, and some roasted garlic olive oil I made.
Seventh Course: Spot Prawn Tagliatelle
Scratch made the tagliatelle. Spot prawns cooked with garlic and marsanne. Tossed it all with fresh tomatoes and basil.
Hooray for derping around.
