INGREDIENTS
FILLING
4 prawns (preferably carabineros – 8/10 – frozen)
8 green asparagus tips
½ mini pak choi
10 cm cucumber
1 tbsp olive oil
Handful of bean sprouts
DRESSING
½ spring onion
small piece of sushi ginger
1 cm red Spanish chilli pepper (without seeds)
1-2 coriander leaves (to taste)
¼ lime
50 ml soy sauce
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
4 rice sheets (Ø 22 cm)
IN ADVANCE
Light the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat, with the Cast Iron Grid, to a temperature of 200°C.
Meanwhile, for the filling, cut the heads off the prawns and set them aside. Peel the prawns and remove the intestinal tracts. Cut the bottoms off the asparagus tips to make them about 10 centimetres long. Remove the leaves from the mini pak choi. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and cut the flesh into 16 even strips.
For the dressing, cut the spring onion into thin rings. Finely chop the sushi ginger, chilli and coriander leaves. Squeeze the juice from the lime quarter. Keeping the coriander aside, mix the rest of the ingredients for the dressing and set this and the coriander aside.
METHOD
Lightly brush the prawn heads, asparagus tips and mini pak choi with the olive oil. Place the prawn heads on the grill and close the lid of the EGG. Grill for approximately 2 minutes. Flip the prawn heads and place the prawns next to them. Grill for 1 minute. Flip the prawns and place the asparagus tips and mini pak choi leaves next to them. Grill for half a minute. Flip the asparagus tips and mini pak choi and grill for another half a minute. In total, grill the heads for 4 minutes, the prawns for 2 minutes, and the asparagus tips and mini pak choi for 1 minute. Close the lid of the EGG after each action.
Remove the grilled ingredients from the EGG. Soak one of the rice sheets in a bowl of cold water for 1 minute. Place the sheet on a clean, slightly damp tea towel and starting from about a third from the bottom, top with a prawn, two asparagus tips, a quarter of the mini pak choi, four cucumber strips and a quarter of the bean sprouts. Fold the sides of the rice sheet over the filling and roll it up tightly. Repeat the process with the rest of the rice sheets and the filling.
Stir the dressing a little more and sprinkle with the coriander. Place a spring roll and a head of prawn on each plate and serve with the dressing to dip the spring roll in. To eat the prawn head, place your teeth right behind the cut surface of the head and suck out the meat left in there and the delicious juice that is released.
