Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large prawns (shrimp), peeled and deveined with tails on
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 6 pieces bamboo skewers (if using)
Instructions
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the prawns to the bowl, and toss them to coat evenly with the marinade. Let the prawns marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the grill.
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers if desired, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Grill the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred around the edges. Be careful not to overcook.
While the prawns are grilling, prepare the mustard dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, yellow mustard, mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Transfer the grilled prawns to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve the prawns hot with the mustard dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
