KINGKLIP AND PRAWNS WITH COCONUT AND LIME TOPPING


Preheat oven to 180 C

2 x 150gr kingklip steaks (white line fish)
zest of a lime
about 2 heaped Tbs of shredded coconut
1 glug of lime-infused olive oil
salt and pepper to taste.
Oil and a knob of butter for frying.

Mix zest, coconut and oil for topping.
Brown fish in oil and butter until just sealed with a bit of color.
Press topping on fish and prawns and finish off in hot oven for about 10-15 minutes.

For the prawns

Shell 8 medium-sized prawns, but keep the tail ends on for handling.
Use the same topping as for the fish.

Serve both with lemon butter.

Hi Ninatimm! This looks so good! Thanks for being the first to post an entry! I love infused olive oil!

I haven't participated in a while...mainly because I get stumped, but I think I have an idea for this month.  Now if I can find the time to make it...   

[Ley]

Wow, that first entry looks REALLY good!! Way to totally raise the bar for the rest of us. lol.

So...Queen...I know you're busy and all (with the WEDDING!!), but since you have a break from hosting this month, are you going to enter?? Just a thought.

:-(

I'm a vegetarian - would it be stretching too much to use sea *salt*?  I love lime and coconut.

What great choices for this month!!! I posted a moqueca (Brazilian fish stew with coconut milk) not long time ago, will think of something else that can use these 3 ingredients that go so well together!

Cris,
I dont think you really have to make something new... if you have posted a moqueca on your blog before, I think you can still enter it in here rather than having to make something up again....

[Maria]

I'm very pleased with the ingredients this month  - I had to pull out of last months Joust (would have been my first) because of illness.. and I'm still recovering after a bit of a relapse.  I must eat very low fat food - so these ingredients suit me fine right now!  Even the coconut part (I have some idea's there...)

I can't wait to see more recipes posted.. I was so very impressed with last months submissions which were all excellent!  Best wishes everyone! 

[Valli]

Judith...sea salt is from "the sea" so why not. We can make allowances for our veggie friends is my thought. We already have an entry. YAY!!!!!Looking good!!!

[Queen]

I agree with Valli - Judith, you just go right ahead and do what you need to do to make it work. That goes for all vegetarians! We can work something out for you so you can participate! I'd love to see someone use kelp, or another seaweed...that would be fun!

And I agree with Dharm - Cris, you go ahead and use what you have!

And Ley - I may join up this month, but I am not making any promises - I am not going to be home most weekends and we have Roberto's bday at the end of the month, so it is doubtful!
But I cannot wait to see what everyone else does!

Great ingredients this month.

Here is my entry: Thai Red Curry Seafood:


Recipe here.

Good luck to everyone!

[Trikki427]

Wow! Mr. Orph, your curry looks mighty tasty.

I am not a self-proclaimed vegetarian, but am I allowed to use "products from the sea" too? I don't want to sound like a whiny baby, but I really do not enjoy biting into the flesh of anything from the sea. I really do try to avoid cooking seafood too.

Srilekha,
Welcome to the Joust.  Yes, you would post your recipe (hopefully with pics too) on this thread.  In addition you could also post it on your blog but it MUST be posted here to enter the Joust.  Good Luck!
