Recipe 01

Mild tandoori prawn skewers

Time · Prep 20 min · Cook 6 min · serves 4

Ingredients

  • 600 g raw prawns (shelled, tails on)
  • 120 g full-fat plain yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp mild tandoori paste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Lime and fresh coriander to serve

Method

  1. Mix yoghurt, tandoori paste, cumin, paprika and olive oil in a bowl.
  2. Add the prawns and marinate for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat a grill or flat griddle over high heat.
  4. Thread the prawns onto pre-soaked wooden skewers.
  5. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until lightly charred and the centre is pearlescent.
  6. Plate with lime wedges and fresh coriander leaves.

Why the pairing works. The gentle tandoori spices lift the red fruit notes of the Bouzy Grand Cru rosé, and the wine's lively bubbles balance the richness of the grilled prawns.

Prawns sautéed with mild chilli and coriander
Recipe 02

Prawns sautéed with mild chilli and coriander

Time · Prep 10 min · Cook 5 min · serves 4

Ingredients

  • 600 g raw prawns (shelled, tails on)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
  • 1 mild red chilli, deseeded and sliced
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce (nuoc-mâm)
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander
  • Jasmine rice to serve

Method

  1. Heat sesame oil in a wok or large pan over high heat.
  2. Sauté the garlic and mild chilli for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the prawns in a single layer. Sear for 1 minute 30 seconds on each side.
  4. Pour in the fish sauce and toss quickly to coat the prawns.
  5. Remove from heat as soon as the prawns are pink and the centre is pearlescent.
  6. Scatter with freshly chopped coriander and serve alongside jasmine rice.

Why the pairing works. The freshness and lightness of this Pinot Noir assemblage rosé temper the warmth of the mild chilli, while its red fruit aromas echo the umami notes of the fish sauce.
