Serves: 4

Prep: 2 hours

Cook: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

24 Raw tiger prawns with shells on

1 tsp chilli flakes

1 tbsp Olive oil

Sea salt

Black pepper

2 egg yolks

2 tsp Dijon mustard

6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

150 ml vegetable oil

150 ml rapeseed oil

Juice of ½ a lemon

Lemon wedges to serve

Step 1: Prepare The Prawns

Marinade the prawns with the garlic, chilli flakes and olive oil. Then cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or overnight if possible.

Step 2: Make The Aioli

Meanwhile, put the egg yolks, mustard and garlic in a food processor and blitz until smooth. With the motor still running, add the vegetable and rapeseed oils in a slow, steady stream until the mixture is thick. Add the lemon juice, blitz again and season to taste.

Step 3: Cook The Prawns

Preheat the barbecue to a high heat. Remove the prawns from the fridge and bring to room temperature. Cook the prawns for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink.

Step 4: Serve

Transfer to a platter and serve with the aioli and lemon wedges.

We love the hit of herbs (dill and parsley) and the zip of onion and garlic in the dressing; the creamy crumbles of salty feta are a perfect counterpoint to the sweet corn and peppers. -- A&M

This salad, on the surface, seems like one you see at every barbeque -- except that this one is more lemony, only gently oniony, fragrant with marjoram and entirely balanced. -- A&M

Potato Salad With Arugula And Dijon Vinaigrette(06 of08)

The other thing I loved about the recipe was this clever technique: the just-grilled potatoes are tossed first with a little rice vinegar, which absorbs quickly into the warm potatoes, and then with a couple of handfuls of arugula, which wilts gently under their heat. -- Merrill

What a lovely combination of ingredients for a salad. It's light and fresh, yet substantial enough to be served as a vegetarian meal or side dish with a piece of fish or chicken. -- thehappycook

The herbal, citrus-scented vinaigrette lightly coats the sweet chunks of watermelon, and goat cheese adds a savory tang. We especially love the toasty crunch of the pistachios. -- A&M
