King Prawns with Lime and Mint

4 servings

30 minutes

Royal shrimp with lime and mint is an exquisite dish inspired by the freshness of Mediterranean cuisine. Large, juicy shrimp gain an amazing depth of flavor from a marinade of lime, garlic, ginger, and green curry paste. The aroma of fresh mint adds lightness and zest, creating a perfect balance between the citrus tang and the spicy warmth of the spices. Sautéed in a hot pan, they develop a delicious golden crust and rich flavor. This dish is perfect for both festive dinners and light summer lunches. Serve it with a glass of white wine or a refreshing lime-based drink to highlight its refined flavor palette.
