These prawns make a special starter. At Giraffe we use Mercer Cheese’s 2017 award-winning “Fifty Fifty” cheese, made from half sheep’s milk and half cow’s milk — hence the name. Find the biggest tiger prawns possible for this dish.

Ingredients

4 large Tiger prawns
¼ cup Pitted black olives
1 Garlic clove, peeled
1 small Red chilli, deseeded
1 Lemon, use the juice and zest
1 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
50 g Fifty fifty cheese, grated, available from specialty stores. If you can't find this, try using manchego

To serve

1 sprinkle Fresh italian parsley, finely chopped
4 Lemon wedges

Directions

  1. Set oven to 200C fan grill or heat up your barbecue. Butterfly the prawns and put on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  2. Finely chop the olives, garlic and chilli. To the olive mix add the lemon juice and zest and olive oil and mix to combine.
  3. Spoon the olive mix on the prawns and top with the grated cheese.
  4. Place the tray under the grill and cook till the cheese is bubbling and golden.
  5. Alternatively place the prawns shell down on the barbecue and cook till the cheese is bubbling.
  6. Serve with a sprinkling of parsley over top of the prawn and a lemon wedge.
