Sundaland Recipes

Indulge your taste buds with the tantalizing fusion of flavors in Salsa with Cajun Style Prawns. This culinary sensation combines the vibrancy of fresh salsa with the bold and spicy Cajun seasoning of succulent prawns. This recipe perfectly represents the flavorful union of Indonesian and Cajun cuisines.
Originating from the rich culinary traditions of Sundaland and Louisiana, this dish brings together two diverse regions in one delicious bite. The salsa bursts with the freshness of juicy tomatoes, tangy lime, fiery red onions, and aromatic cilantro. This medley of flavors creates a zesty and refreshing base that perfectly complements the savory Cajun prawns.To achieve those perfectly seasoned prawns, we coat them in a blend of smoky paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, and various other herbs and spices. The prawns are then pan-seared to lock in their succulence and infuse them with that irresistible Cajun flair.
