Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 egg yolk
- 4 prawn large
- 1 cup cheese shredded
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and egg yolk, stirring well. Set aside.
- Rinse four large prawns and pat them dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, make a shallow cut down the middle of the back of each prawn to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through. Clean and devein the prawns. Transfer them to a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Generously coat each prawn with the mayonnaise mixture and stuff them with shredded cheese, gently pressing the cheese into the pockets to fill the space evenly.
- Bake the prawns in the preheated oven (or on an outdoor grill) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the prawns turn pink and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley on top.
Notes
- Pick fresh large prawns for the best taste. Fresh prawns will have a sweet and succulent flavor, enhancing the overall taste of your grilled cheese prawns.
- Don't Overcook the Prawns. Prawns cook quickly, and overcooking can result in a rubbery texture. Keep a close eye on them while baking, and remove them from the oven as soon as they turn pink and opaque. This will ensure they remain juicy and tender.
- Select a cheese that melts well and complements the prawns. Cheddar, mozzarella, Gouda, or a blend of cheeses are excellent choices. Avoid using cheeses that are too pungent or overpowering, as they may mask the delicate flavors of the prawns.
