Description
Obsiblue prawns come from the lagoons of New Caledonia, a designated Unesco World Heritage Site. These special sashimi-grade prawns are found nowhere else on earth, and what better way to show them off than by combining them with a sweet, sharp and spicy citrus-based dressing.
The light flavours in this crudo complement rather than overwhelm the prawns, allowing the sweet flavour of their meat to shine.
- 250g obsiblue prawns
- Flesh of 1 ruby grapefruit
- 2 tablespoons grapefruit juice
- 1 large fennel bulb, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon hot chilli flakes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Combine the honey, grapefruit juice, lime juice, chilli flakes, olive oil and some salt in a jar and shake to combine (alternatively, whisk it together in a bowl until emulsified).
- Peel the prawns and devein them by cutting along the back of each prawn body with a sharp knife and removing the digestive tract. Cut the prawns into 4 pieces each.
- Combine the fennel, grapefruit segments and prawns with some of the dressing and divide between plates. Top with the dill and serve the remaining dressing alongside.
