For a simply stunning appetizer, serve these beautiful, barbecued pancetta-wrapped prawns with homemade roasted red pepper aioli.
Ingredients
Pancetta-Wrapped Prawns:
- 24 prawns (16–20 count), peeled and deveined
- 24 thin slices pancetta
Red Pepper Aioli:
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 clove garlic, blanched
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- ½ small, roasted red pepper, peeled and seeded
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon chopped Italian parsley
- Juice of 1 lime
Preparation
Preheat grill to medium-high heat for direct cooking.
Wrap each prawn with pancetta and set aside.
For the aioli, place egg yolks, garlic, cayenne, salt, pepper, and roasted red pepper in a food processor. Process for about 1 minute, then with the motor still running, slowly drizzle in the oil until it reaches the consistency of mayonnaise.
Remove from processor and stir in parsley and lime juice.
Grill prawns for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn completely opaque. Serve with aioli.
