Prawn With Watermelon Cocktail

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Add the 1/4 cup of sea salt, sugar, and water to your 1-quart saucepan and place it over a high heat. Simmer and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved, then remove from the heat. Add the ice to chill the brine, and when cold, add the prawns and allow them to brine for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove the prawns from the brine, pat dry with a clean towel, and put them on a baking sheet with a little olive oil to keep them from sticking. Lightly dust the prawns with cayenne and bake them for 4 minutes. Using your tongs, turn them over, allow them to cool on the pan, and then refrigerate them.

3. 3

   In your blender, combine the watermelon, honey, and horseradish, and puree. Season to your taste with salt, and if you like your cocktail sauce spicier, add more horseradish.

4. 4

   Arrange the lemon slices on your platter or serving tray. Lay a prawn in the center of each lemon slice, with two cilantro leaves poking out from beneath like wings. Drizzle the cocktail sauce the length of the prawn and serve immediately.
