Arron Rhodes of sustainable seafood restaurant Dot Cod demonstrates how to prepare this light and refreshing dish for the summer
As we ease into the summer months, a whole new range of produce becomes available for the picking. The season calls for light, refreshing dishes to counter the heat and humidity outdoors, and so we paid a visit to Central’s sustainable seafood restaurant Dot Cod for an idea of what to cook.
Executive chef Arron Rhodes uses WWF-certified sustainable Madagascan prawns in this stunning yet simple dish, pairing it with a summer salad of carrots and baby squash with Thai-inspired flavours.
Watch the video below as chef Rhodes demonstrates how to cook the vibrant Madagascan prawn.
