Spicy Rum and Tomato Prawns

Tonight, we are watching the Death In Paradise Christmas Special, thus I cooked a something rather special, these beautiful Spicy Rum and Tomato Prawns for dinner! In spite of the cold air outside, it just feels like we have flown to Sainte-Marie for the night! Yesi!

Ingredients (serves 2):

1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger

1 large garlic clove

¼ teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

½ teaspoon Red Chilli Flakes

½ teaspoon Hot Pepper Sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons Ginger and Lime Rum

305 grams/ounces fresh prawns

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/3 Garden Chilli 

1 lime

3 Whole Peeled Tomatoes + 1/3 cup of their juice

1 heaped tablespoon dark muscavado sugar

2 tablespoons Ginger and Lime Rum

Peel ginger and garlic. Using the thin side of a box grater, grate both ginger and garlic. Spoon grated ginger and garlic into a medium bowl. Add fleur de sel, Red Chilli Flakes, Hot Pepper Sauce, olive oil and Ginger and Lime Rum. Give a good stir until well-combined. 

Peel prawns and add them to the bowl. Give a good stir to coat and mix into the marinade. 

Allow the prawns to marinate in the refrigerator, a couple of hours, giving a stir every now and then.

Heat olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. 

Thinly slice Garden Chilli.

Once the oil is hot, add sliced Chilli, and cook, 1 minute. Stir in the prawns, leaving out the marinade for the moment. Cook until bright pink, and starting to brown, about 4 minutes.

Thoroughly squeeze the juice of the lime over the prawns, and add reserved marinade. Cook, a couple of minutes more. 

Roughly chop Whole Peeled Tomatoes.

Stir them in, along with all their juice and muscavado sugar and Ginger and Lime Rum, and cook, another 5 minutes, until sauce just thickens.

Serve Spicy Rum and Tomato Prawns hot, with Coconut Rum Rice.
