Salt-slab prawns with Szechuan peppercorns

Asian 15 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook


  1. Place a pan over a high heat. Toast the peppercorns and coriander in the pan for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Place in a pestle and mortar with the salt and lightly crush.
  2. Finely chop the spring onions, ginger and garlic.
  3. Place the prawns in a large bowl along with the other ingredients and combine. Toss well to coat.
  4. Preheat a wood-fired barbecue or gas grill to a medium-high heat.
  5. Place the salt slab on the side of the fire and gradually heat it up with the coals – this will stop it from cracking.
  6. Once the slab is hot, arrange the prawns on top and cook for 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. Serve the prawns on the salt slab for the best effect.
