# Assam prawns recipe
## Raw jumbo prawns are not easy to find in Britain, but this works fine with
raw tiger prawns (choose organic prawns from M&S).

Serves 4
Cook them on a barbecue instead of in a pan, if you wish. If you cannot find
kecap manis, add a teaspoon of sugar to 1½ tablespoons of dark soy sauce.
_For the prawns_
3 tbsp kecap manis (Asian shops or [waiyeehong.com][3])
2cm piece of ginger, grated
8 raw jumbo prawns, shell on
1 tbsp groundnut oil, for frying
_For the okra salad_
2 tbsp groundnut oil
400g okra, sliced lengthways
1 tbsp tamarind paste (optional)
4 tomatoes, sliced very thinly
1 red or pink onion, sliced very thinly
the juice of 2 limes
a small handful of coriander leaves, chopped
Mix the kecap manis and the ginger in a shallow dish and roll the prawns
around in it. Leave to marinate in the fridge for an hour or more.
To make the okra salad, heat the groundnut oil in a pan over a high heat and
fry the okra until crisp. Transfer to a serving bowl and add the tamarind
paste (if using), tomatoes, onion, lime juice, coriander, salt and pepper. Mix
well and set aside.
Fry or grill the prawns in the tablespoon of groundnut oil on both sides until
the marinade has evaporated and the shells are pink and charred. Serve each
person with two prawns on top of some okra salad, with a lime wedge alongside.
**Hamish Anderson's wine choice** 2007 Extra Special Chardonnay, Adelaide
Hills, South Australia £6.78, Asda. This dish is not strongly spiced, so you
can try a grape such as chardonnay, not usually a bedfellow of spicy food.
This reminds me of a turbo-charged Chablis; its rich, mineral elements make a
great match for meaty prawns.
