Togarashi Prawns
- 1 sheet nori
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, allowed to dry on a paper towel
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 pound large prawns, shelled and deveined, with tails on
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. To make the togarashi, toast the nori on an ungreased baking sheet for 20 minutes in the oven.
- Allow to cool, then rip the nori into pieces that will fit in your spice mill.
- Grind the nori, sesame seeds, orange zest, and pepper flakes in batches if necessary, and mix together in a small mixing bowl.
- Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a wok over high heat until very hot.
- Add the prawns and cook 3 to 4 minutes, tossing and turning the prawns as they cook.
- When they are firm and pink, sprinkle the prawns with the togarashi, salt, and pepper, and toss well to coat.
- You can also brush the prawns with the oil, sprinkle them with the togarashi, salt, and pepper, and grill or broil them, turning often, until firm and pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
