Prawns with Sweet Chilli Relish

April 9, 2015 by Maureen 45 Comments

prawnswithsweetchilirelish

My day started a bit odd but it got better because I made these prawns with sweet chilli relish for lunch and served them with a little bit of rice. Recently I received a gift box of Anathoth Farms Sweet Chilli Relish to try out and I’m just getting to it. Like you, there’s so much going on in my life that things had to fit in a queue.

Prawns with Sweet Chilli Relish

Have you ever gone to a doctor’s appointment on the wrong day. Up until today I could say no. :eyeroll:

I came home to see shit-eating grins. My friends need to do something stupid really quickly so we’ll be even.

I’d never heard of Anathoth Farms relish before but they won the relish category at the 2015 Australian Products of the Year Awards so I was intrigued. I opened one of the pots and took a taste and it’s slightly chunky and slightly sweet and not very hot. I thought it would give the prawns a nice cuddle.

After heating a skillet to medium high and adding some oil and butter, I waited for the butter to bubble and tossed in the prawns. Prawns only take a few minutes to cook. When cooking from fresh, prawns turn pink and curl up and that’s their way of telling you not to overcook them.

Uncooked prawns

When they were just about done I put 3 tablespoons of the sweet chilli relish in the skillet and stirred it through and over the prawns and then a squeeze of lime juice. That’s it. The meal was done in under 15 minutes from start to finish and that included cooking the rice. It takes longer to heat the pan than it does to cook the prawns.

I thought they were really good but needed more heat. Next time I’ll sauté a finely chopped chilli in the butter before adding the prawns.

Prawns with Sweet Chilli Relish

Interesting fact. England, Canada and Australia use two Ls in chilli and we don’t have chile anywhere. With the entire world being one place due to the internet, I think it’s time we all spelled words the same way. Like aluminum. It only needs one i, right? I have yet to say allyoomineeyum. If I need to say it I say foil.  I won’t get into pronouncing words with missing letters like lieutenant. How can you get leftennant out of that?

Back to my prawns or shrimp – more things that need to have the same name. I have made this dish as an appetizer (the z just popped in there) several times and it’s always a hit but I’ve used Asian sweet chilli sauce. I like the relish better.

Anathoth Sweet Chilli Relish is made in New Zealand but is now available in all Coles supermarkets here in Australia. I know because I saw it there the other day and thought, “I haven’t tried that relish yet!”

    English is a funny language. Put is put but but is but, yet putt and butt are putt and butt.

    Few years ago, if I said chilli in US, they handed me a can of beans and meat…..everytime. The prawns look delightful. Heat or no heat, I can clear them off the plate.

    Yes, I can see how these prawns/shrimps with chilli/chili relish could turn your day. Definitely make up for a smug “told you so” grin you came home to!

    We’ve all been there Maureen. Last time I did it, it was an appointment 97km away. Not even for ME, it was for Dozer. Sigh.

    Any way you cook shrimp … I’ll eat it. As to the mis-remembered doctor’s appointment, a good husband should know better than to wear that ‘I was right, you were wrong’ grin cause I’m sure he’s forgotten more than a few things. 🙂

    Oh that looks so good! I don’t know what it is about being busy – but my life seems out of control some times! I don’t know how I did it with small children. We’re empty nesters and seem busier than ever! You managed to do a wonderful job with that sauce – my husband would be in heaven. So sad we can’t get this in the US!

    I love spicy prawns, and it is such a shame when restaurants over cook them. Made at home are always the best, you won’t believe this but i have 1 lb of them in the freezer since Sunday when I held off on throwing too many in the gigantic paella I made for Easter. This will be perfect for a fast weeknight meal. Deliciousness ! (i hope I spelled that right lol )

    Whether it’s chilli or chile, I’d definitely wrap some of those scrumptious looking shrimp in alyoumenium foil for a to-go lunch! =)

    Seriously, thank you for the yummy recipe and the tip about how to sauté shrimp. (And idea of incorporating the relish into butter.)

    We’re using Google calendar these days (which we can access from all our computers, tablets, and smart phones) to keep appointments straight. Really works well. But what would really work well is if I had this waiting for me for dinner! Love spicy seafood — this looks wonderful. Thanks.

    Don’t get me started on the spelling and the pronouncing of English words. I’m just bloody grateful English is my first language and I’m not foreign and forced to learn it at school – poor buggers! I do hope you didn’t have to travel too far to be told you’d turned up on the wrong day! That would have been too much xx

    Love the sweet and spicy chilli prawns. I am a huge shrimp fan! The even stranger issue is how automatic checkers correct the spelling of chili even when it is correct and I will spell it several different ways even to my response to you as I still do not really know what is actually correct as the world can’t decide. LOL Sharing everywhere, of course!

    You just answered my question about chili and chilli! I didn’t know England, Canada and Australia use two Ls!!!! I always thought the same, why don’t we just decide on one word?! Wonder if there are any other words like that. Sounds like you had a rough day. But I love the shrimp and sweet chili flavor – I haven’t tried relish but since you said it’s better than Asian sweet chili sauce, I hope to find something similar to this brand. Great presentation with the rice!
