64 perfect prawn recipes

Whether you love your prawns barbecued, pan-fried or tossed, nothing pleases like a prawn.

Is there anything prawns can't do? We like them tossed through pasta in a spicy tomato sauce or done wafu pasta-style with sake-soy butter; but we're equally pleased by prawns that have been kissed by the smoke and char of a barbecue, prawn ceviche with a green-chilli dressing, or a comforting prawn curry. This versatile crustacean is available year-round, so don't leave all your prawn eating to summer.
Prawns are easy and quick to cook, making them primed for simple dinners as well as impressive dinner party snacks. Whether you're a lover of prawn pasta recipes, barbecued prawns with a lovely marinade or sauce, or a fresh prawn salad, nothing pleases like a prawn.
In our collection of perfect prawn recipes, we have delicious pasta recipes, barbecued delights like Mat Lindsay's prawns with brown butter and tamari and light and quick seafood meals such as a soba noodle salad with sake grilled prawns that takes just 15 minutes to make. We also have brilliant starters, from our chicken, prawn and chilli pot stickers recipe or super-easy charred prawns on skewers with lime that takes less than 10 minutes to cook. For easy midweek dinners, try Liberté's stir fry garlic prawns with chilli and Thai basil or our linguine with tomato, prawns and rocket.
