Grilled prawns in yuzu dressing

Yuzu is a citrus fruit, grown in China.  It’s a commonly used ingredient in Japanese cuisine – the juice, due to its tartness (sourness), smack-in-the-mouth twang is used as flavouring agent while it’s aromatic zest for garnish.  It’s somewhat close to what a lemon does.  While the fruit is not sold in Melbourne, I found the next best thing – yuzu juice from selected Japanese specialist stores and paid about $8 for a 100ml bottle, but the flavour profile is priceless.

I love the flavour of this dish – absolutely perfect for a party.  It has a good balance between the sourness of the yuzu juice and the sweetness crunch of fresh prawns.  The sesame seeds add wonderful texture and fragrance.  So, if you need a quick pick-me-up for your guests, this is just perfect.
