You will need
400 g frozen, peeled prawns
1 t (5 ml) Ina Paarman’s Chilli & Garlic Seasoning
¼ t (1 ml) grated nutmeg (no more!)
2 t (10 ml) grated lemon rind
1 T (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
3 T (45 ml) butter
250 g tub creamed cottage cheese
Ina Paarman’s Lemon & Black Pepper Seasoning
200 g smoked salmon trout ribbons
caper berries
Method
Defrost prawns by rinsing them in a colander under lukewarm tap water. Shake off all excess water. Season with Chilli & Garlic Seasoning, nutmeg, lemon rind and lemon juice. Heat the butter until foamy and beginning to brown in a heavy based frying pan. Add the seasoned prawns.
Stir-fry until firm and pinkish. Allow to cool slightly. Decant the cottage cheese into a food processor, add half the prawns and process until smooth. Add the remaining prawns and any left over butter and pulse 10 times, so that some texture remains. Taste, and season with Lemon & Black Pepper Seasoning.
Dish mixture into small individual ramekins. Cover and refrigerate. Garnish with salmon roses and caper berries.
Serve with Ciabatta Melba Toast as featured in our Prawn Pate recipe.
