An Amusing Mouthful: Grilled Prawns with Caviar Lime #FishFridayFoodies

By

It's time for the final Fish Friday Foodies' 2020 event. We are a group of seafood-loving bloggers, rallied by Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm, to share fish and seafood recipes on the third Friday of the month. 

And this month, I am hosting. I asked the bloggers to share recipes for seafood amuse-bouche. I wrote: "Let's make some diminutive seafood bites. Amuse-bouche are single, bite-sized hors d'œuvre. Get creative with a seafood-based amuse-bouche and we can all have a virtual #FishFridayFoodies holiday party." 

Here's the December 2020 line-up from the #FishFridayFoodies. I cannot wait to try these recipes...


Amuse Bouche

I opted for an amuse-bouche theme this month because there is something intriguing - and challenging - to me about creating a flavorful mouthful. Amuse-bouche. An amusing mouthful. One mouthful. Only one bite. And I love the way amuse-bouche are served: miniature cups and bowls, artistically twisted silverware. It's a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth.


The beauty of this dish comes from the surprising burst of citrus of caviar limes. Back in 2013, I interviewed a farmer who was growing caviar limes; you can read my introduction to caviar limes. They are so pretty and so tasty. Don't they look just like fish roe?

Ingredients
  • 1 pound prawns, deveined with shell and tail intact
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (I used fresh Bearrs lime)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • caviar limes for serving
  • fleur de sel for serving

Procedure

Whisk all ingredients together - except for the caviar lime- and marinate prawns, on skewers, for at least 2 hours. Longer is better. Grill over hot coals till opaque.

To serve, remove prawns from skewers. Squeeze half a caviar lime on top of each prawn and sprinkle with fleur de sel. Serve immediately.

That's a wrap on the amuse bouche theme for the Fish Friday Foodies. We'll be back in the new year as Rebekah of Making Miracles leads the discussion of 'company-worthy' seafood. Stay tuned...

    Love the look of those limes as a fun flavorful garnish - and love this theme, it was great "partying" with you today!

    I'd never heard of caviar limes and now I want some. As you may know or not, I wrote an entire cookbook devoted to appetizers and absolutely love making amuse bouche. I love your combo.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
