Ingredients

  • 1 tin of St Mamet pineapple pieces
  • 1 stick of lemongrass
  • 1 small piece of ginger
  • 1 lime
  • 1 bok choy
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 1 bunch of mint
  • 12 large wild prawns
  • 8 shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 large cloves of garlic
  • 1 onion
  • 1 nice sprig of thyme

Preparation

  • Drain the pineapples, keeping some of the juice.
  • Thin, wash and chop the Pak-Choi. Peel and chop the garlic cloves.
  • Thin, wash and chop the mint.
  • Cut the lemongrass stick in half lengthwise, remove the core, cut in half and chop finely.
  • Clean the shiitake mushrooms and cut them into 4 pieces.
  • Peel and chop the onion.
  • Peel and finely chop the ginger.
  • Peel the prawns and clean the heads and shells with water.
  • In a large saucepan, fry the chopped onion with a spoonful of olive oil. Add the shells with the thyme after 2 minutes. Leave to sear for a further 5 minutes. Deglaze with 50cl of water and cook for 20 minutes. Filter after cooking.
  • In a large wok or frying pan, heat the last spoonful of oil. Fry the garlic, bok choi, lemongrass, shiitake and ginger for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the prawns and pineapple (5 pieces of pineapple per person), salt and pepper and fry again for 1 to 2 minutes. Deglaze with 4 tbsp of pineapple juice and 15cl of carcass stock. Reduce for 2 minutes and add the coconut milk. Leave to reduce for a few more minutes.
Before serving, in hot plates, or as in the photo, ½ coconut, add the zest of a lime and the chopped mint. Enjoy hot. For those who like a spicy dish, add a little strong madras curry. The dish goes very well with steamed Thai or Camargue rice.
