Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Jumbo prawns (shrimp), deveined and shells on
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (for mayonnaise)
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill, grill pan, or broiler to medium-high heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss the prawns in the marinade to coat them evenly. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other components.
3. Roast the red bell pepper over an open flame, grill, or under the broiler, turning occasionally until the skin is charred and blistered all over. Place the roasted pepper in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it steam for 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and roughly chop the flesh.
4. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red bell pepper, mayonnaise, smoked paprika, and white vinegar. Blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
5. Grill the marinated prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shells are charred and the flesh is opaque and fully cooked. Be careful not to overcook the prawns, as they can become rubbery.
6. Arrange the grilled prawns on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with the capsicum mayonnaise on the side, along with lemon wedges for squeezing.
7. Enjoy your smoky and flavorful charred prawns with creamy capsicum mayonnaise!
