Chef Tom Douglas shows how he cooks up local Spot Prawns - Douglas Demo

They're one of the tastiest treats from Washington waters. #k5evening

SEATTLE — Spot Prawns from Washington are in season right now, but if you're unsure how to cook them, Chef Tom Douglas has a recipe anyone can follow. He joined us from the Hot Stove Society kitchen.

Spot Prawns w/ Spring New Potato Salad and Peas

Servings: 2

Ingredients: 

  • ½ lb. New Potatoes
  • 1 cup Shelled English Peas
  • ½ lb Spot Prawns
  • ¼ cup Cream
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon infused olive oil
  • Chives
  • Dill

Instructions:

  • Set a pot of water to boil. When boiling, cook potatoes until tender and then immediately drain. Allow to chill momentarily and then halve.
  • Add potatoes, cream, and peas to a saucepan over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to simmer until hot through.
  • Meanwhile, remove the heads from the spot prawns and slice down the back, leaving the shell on. Season with salt and pepper and toss with oil (we used a lemon-infused olive oil).
  • Grill or sauté prawns over medium-high heat until charred and just cooked through - about 3 minutes for a translucent center.
  • Plate the peas and potatoes and top with grilled prawns.
  • Chop fresh herbs and sprinkle over top. Add crumbled feta. Enjoy!
