Margarita Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Recipe: afarmgirlsdabbles.com

SHRIMP MARINADE:

Olive Oil                             Onion Powder

Fresh Garlic                       Cumin

Jalapeño                             Salt

Brown Sugar                     Black Pepper

Smoked Paprika               Garlic Powder

Chilli Powder

 

FOR THE SKEWERS:

Jumbo Prawns                   Coriander

Fresh Lime                         Tequila

 

METHOD:

1. Mix all the Shrimp Marinade ingredients in a small bow with high sides and blend together using an immersion blender.

2. Pour marinade over prawns and gently fold to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

3. Place prawns on skewers (or not! Without skewers works too). We like to add extra limes to ours.

4. Heat grill to medium-high heat and grill shrimp for 3-4 minutes per side.

5.Serve skewers with a squeeze of lime, a dash of tequila and a sprinkling of coriander for optimum Margarita-style prawns!

AND ENJOY!

Recipe: olivemagazine.com

INGREDIENTS:

500g Halloumi

Small Watermelon

1 tsp Coriander

1 tsp Sumac

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Cayenne Pepper

Black Pepper Corns

 

METHOD:

1. Soak 16 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes or use metal skewers.

2. Break each block of halloumi along its natural split and then slice each half into good sizes chunks. Cut the watermelon into equal sized pieces. Alternately thread the watermelon and halloumi onto the skewers.

3. In a mixing bowl, mix together the spices with a good pinch of salt, then sprinkle over the skewers, pressing to stick.

4. Heat a griddle pan or BBQ over a medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side or until charred and the halloumi starts to soften.

AND ENJOY!

 


Maple and Rum Baked Bananas

Recipe: deliciousmagazine.co.uk

INGREDIENTS:

2 Unpeeled Bananas                           1 tbsp White Rum

25g Softened Butter                           Hazelnuts and Pistachios

1 tbsp Soft Light Brown Sugar           Greek Yogurt

2 tbsp Maple Syrup

 

METHOD:

1. Heat the oven to 200˚ C/180˚ C fan/Gas Mark 6. Put a sheet of non-stick baking paper on top of a sheet of foil. Slice the unpeeled bananas in half lengthways and put them in the centre of the paper/foil. Spoon the softened butter, sugar, maple syrup and white rum over the bananas, then wrap tightly in the paper/foil. Transfer to a roasting tray and bake for 25 minutes. (Alternatively, pop on the BBQ!)

2. Meanwhile, in a non-stick pan, gentle toast the hazelnuts and pistachios until golden, then roughly chop. Unwrap the bakes bananas and serve, still in their skins with the juices spooned over. Sprinkle with the chopped nuts and a dollop or two of Greek yogurt.

AND ENJOY!
