Mexican Lemonade Prawns

Cooking Steps

Thaw and prep the prawns. Slice the jalapeños, juice the lemons, mince the garlic and combine with fresh lemon juice and salt. Stir together with the prawns and allow to marinade for a few minutes. The acid from the lemon juice will cook the prawns, but don’t worry about that (note: if you’re looking for a ceviche, this recipe works!).

Give the prawns 15 minutes or so to soak up all the spicy lemony flavors. Heat up a sauté pan to medium-high, add a heaping spoonful of coconut oil and (once hot) pour in the prawns and juice. The lemon juice will simmer down, the prawns will gently finish cooking and the coconut oil will meld into the flavors, creating a sultry smooth spicy citrusy broth. This is worth doing.

  2. Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which
    blog platform are you using for this website?
    I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers
    and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
