Ingredients
- 16 large grilled prawns, peeled and deveined
- 8 chocolate wafers, crushed into fine crumbs
- 4 tablespoons pistachio jam
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 8 boiled frog legs, cleaned and patted dry
- 1 cup root beer (for marinating and basting)
Instructions
- Marinate the Prawns: In a bowl, combine the grilled prawns with half of the root beer. Let them marinate for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Prepare the Frog Legs: While the prawns are marinating, season the boiled frog legs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Create the Chocolate Crust: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed chocolate wafers with corn syrup until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold together.
- Coat the Frog Legs: Take each frog leg and coat it in the chocolate wafer mixture, ensuring an even layer.
- Grill the Frog Legs: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the coated frog legs for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until crispy and heated through.
- Grill the Prawns: Remove the prawns from the marinade and grill them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the remaining root beer until they are cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Plate the Dish: On a serving platter, arrange the grilled prawns elegantly. Drizzle the pistachio jam over the prawns and place the grilled frog legs alongside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with a glass of chilled root beer on the side for a refreshing complement to the dish.
This dish is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures that is sure to surprise and delight your guests. The sweetness of the chocolate wafers and pistachio jam perfectly balances the savory grilled prawns and frog legs, making for an unforgettable dining experience. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
