YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Helen Graves’ s prawns with fennel-seed butter recipe By Helen Graves - May 1, 2022 Sometimes simple is best. Make sure to melt the butter at the last minute so it sizzles when it’s poured over the prawns, and follow it with a squeeze of lemon. I serve this with a glass of cold white wine. Rob Billington SERVES 2-4, depending on sides SETUP Direct cooking PREP TIME 5 minutes COOK TIME 5 minutes Vegetable oil, for cooking 12 shell-on king prawns 1 tbsp fennel seeds 50g butter 1 tsp dried chilli flakes, or to taste 1 tbsp lemon juice, plus wedges to serve Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Prepare a barbecue for direct cooking over medium heat. Lightly oil the prawns, season with salt and grill them over direct heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, until completely pink. Transfer to a serving plate. Lightly crush the fennel seeds (either in a pestle and mortar or with something heavy), then combine them with the butter, chilli flakes, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Sizzle gently for a minute, then pour the butter over the hot prawns. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges. TO COOK INDOORS Preheat a cast-iron griddle pan over a high heat for at least 5 minutes and cook the prawns for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until pink all over.
