Classic and traditional British Pub Grub! Cooked prawns (shrimps) served in a pint mug with a tangy garlic mayonnaise and a pint of Guinness of course – my idea of heaven! British pub grub is justly famous and this simple dish is also great when served at home. Serve these prawns for family gatherings, or St Patrick’s Day, St George’s Day, St David’s Day, St Andrew’s Day, Australia Day, football, superbowl, darts matches or ANY time you fancy simple, robust food with a pint of ale! I have suggested Guinness but you can serve these prawns with any real ale or your favourite brew. I have spiced the mayonnaise up a tad – if you are not a lover of spicy food, serve these prawns with classic mayonnaise.
I try to avoid carbs as much as possible and this recipe is just about the best thing ever. It’s low in fat, high in nutrition but it does fill you up. These directions are for one, so just multiply the ingredients for however many you need. You can also use this recipe as a starter.
From Ruth Van Waerebeeks’s “Everybody Eats Well In Belgium Cookbook.” Traditional Belgium shrimp croquettes are made with North Sea shrimp, called brown shrimp — small, and very flavorful, and not readily available in the United States. Ruth writes: “For a while I thought I could never duplicate [the traditional Belgian croquette in the U.S.] …. But with a little experimentation I achieved quite good results. Do avoid frozen peeled shrimp, for they have very little flavor and search out the freshest shrimp you can find.” The dish must be refrigerated at least overnight to allow yourself enough preparation time. (And DO read the directions through to prepare yourself for the time involved!)
I was so very lucky in that I was able to go to Italy, and I went to wonderful dinners where various stuffed endives were served. Egg salad was a nice, rich, savory favorite every time. 🙂
