Prawn Cocktail from the Big Green Egg
A prawn cocktail is a delicious retro starter. Preparing it on the Big Green Egg gives it a subtle smoky flavour, taking it to the next level.
How to make a prawn cocktail on the Big Green Egg
Place the prawns in a bowl. Peel the garlic and finely chop the cloves. Mix with the sunflower oil and stir into the prawns. Cover and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Remove the Flat Baking Stone, the grid and the convEGGtor from the EGG and place the Cast Iron Grid in it using the Cast Iron Grid Lifter. Bring the temperature to 230 degrees. Meanwhile, finely grate the lime zest. Squeeze out the juice and mix it with the finely grated zest, pepper and salt to taste into the crème fraîche.
Grilling avocado wedges
Halve the avocados and remove the stones. Leave the skin on and cut each half into five wedges. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Grill the marinated prawns for approximately 4 minutes without turning them. Grill the avocado wedges for 2 minutes on both sides and the cherry tomatoes for 2 minutes on the skin side. Then extinguish the charcoal in the EGG by closing the draft door and the daisy wheel.
Set aside 36 prawns. Mix about half of the lime cream with the avocado, tomatoes and grilled prawns, and divide among the glasses. Divide the reserved prawns among the glasses and spoon the remaining lime cream on top. Refrigerate the glasses until serving.
Remove the glasses from the refrigerator. Garnish the prawn cocktail with the rocket and serve.
