Aburi Spicy Prawn

What this is

Aburi Spicy Prawn is a bold and flavourful sushi dish that features tender, juicy prawns lightly torched to perfection and topped with a creamy, fiery spicy mayo. The aburi-style searing adds a smoky depth to the prawn’s natural sweetness, while the spicy mayo provides a rich, zesty kick. This dish offers an indulgent balance of smoky, creamy, and spicy flavours that will delight seafood lovers.

How it is made

Our Aburi Spicy Prawn is crafted with premium prawns, which are lightly seared using a blowtorch to bring out their natural sweetness and add a subtle smoky layer. The prawns are then topped with a generous drizzle of our house-made spicy mayo, which is a blend of creamy Japanese mayonnaise and a hint of chilli for just the right amount of heat. Each prawn is placed atop a base of seasoned sushi rice, which is steamed to perfection and lightly seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. The dish can be finished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or finely sliced spring onions for added texture and flavour.

Where it is sourced

We source our prawns from sustainable Australian fisheries, ensuring that they are fresh, plump, and ethically harvested. The spicy mayo is made using authentic Japanese mayonnaise, known for its smooth, rich texture. Our sushi rice is imported from Japan, guaranteeing the perfect consistency and flavour to complement the torched prawn.
