Directions

Broiled garlic prawns are paired with nutty black forbidden rice and two contrasting sauces: a spicy, tangy mango-chile Diablo sauce and a lightly sweet honey cream sauce.

  • Step 1

    Cook the black forbidden rice in salted water according to package directions and keep warm.

  • Step 2

    Peel the shells from the prawns.

  • Step 3

    Combine the prawns with crushed garlic, melted butter or oil, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chopped cilantro.

  • Step 4

    Broil the prawns at 500°F for about 5 minutes, or until just cooked through.

  • Step 5

    For the Diablo sauce, heat the butter and oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Step 6

    Add the shallot and garlic and sauté until golden brown.

  • Step 7

    Add the habanero chile, serrano chile, bell pepper, cumin, and grated ginger. Stir and cook for about 1 minute.

  • Step 8

    Add the mango and chicken stock. Simmer for about 7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and only a little liquid remains.

  • Step 9

    Puree the Diablo sauce with a hand blender, then season with salt and lime juice. If desired, use the hot chili sauce in place of the fresh chilies or adjust the heat to taste.

  • Step 10

    For the honey cream sauce, sauté the onion and garlic in butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet until light golden.

  • Step 11

    Add the chicken stock and honey and bring to a boil.

  • Step 12

    Add the heavy whipping cream and simmer for 3–5 minutes.

  • Step 13

    Season the honey cream sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then puree until smooth.

  • Step 14

    Spoon the Diablo sauce around the inner portion of each dinner plate, closer to the center, and spoon the honey cream sauce nearer the outer edge.

  • Step 15

    Place the cooked forbidden rice in the center of each plate, arrange the broiled prawns around the rice, and serve immediately.
