Prawn with melon-cucumber salad and sesame tuiles

Slowly I am really getting into a kind of autumn mood and I really do not want to. It's been raining for days and it is cold and almost no sunshine. I hope summer is going to come back soon! And even this salad screams for hot weather: lightly dressed cucumber-melon salad with spicy prawns, done in 15 minutes.



 
Ingredients:
for the prawns:
3-4 prawns per person

ginger
garlic
chili
peanut oil
juice and zest of a lime

for the salad:
1 cucumber

1/2 galia or cantaloupe melon
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 tablespoons rape seed oil
2 tablespoons yoghurt or kefir
ground coriander
dill seeds
salt

pepper

for the sesame tuiles:
50 g soft butter
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon fish sauce
30 g flour
1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon white and black sesame seeds



Preheat the oven to 180°C. For the tuiles beat butter with honey until fluffy, add the rest of the ingredients and stir everything together and mix well. Smear batter onto a baking paper in any kind of shape you like and bake for about 5 minutes.

Marinate prawns with chili, garlic, ginger, some lime juice and zest, also add some oil. And fry them in a hot pan right before serving.


Slice thinly cucumber and melon. Puree about 70 g of melon with lime juice, oil and yoghurt. Sieve and season with salt, pepper, ground coriander and roasted dill seeds.
