Sweet Chili Grilled Prawns

Summer has arrived here in the Pacific Northwest and it is time to enjoy the grill as much as possible. Tonight I want to enjoy the grill with a quick dish – grilled prawns. I bet there will be more time spent preparing the prawns than actually grilling them. But that is OK… because when a dish is quick and incredibly delicious, it does not have to take a large investment of time. I paired this dish with Sesame Asparagus Salad and white rice. Simple, delicious and easily extensible from one diner to a group, what’s not to love here? Give this recipe a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Sesame Asparagus Salad

Tonight I made a simple asparagus salad to accompany the Sweet Chili Grilled Prawns. With the dog days of summer here, this dish keeps you out of the kitchen and away from the stove, but delivers loads of flavor. This dish is great with the grilled prawns, but would also be wonderful with beef or chicken.  This recipe is a tweak on this recipe from the AllRecipes website – a great resource for creative dishes. I added shallots and substituted Chinese mustard for the dijon mustard; it just seemed like the better choice in my humble opinion. The results are flavorful, so make this dish and eat your vegetables! Save Print Sesame Asparagus Salad Prep time:  10 mins Cook time:  5 mins Total time:  15…
