Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves
- 1 unit Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 units Lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by cleaning the prawns. Peel and devein them, leaving the tails intact for easier handling.
Mince the garlic cloves finely, and chop fresh parsley.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add prawns to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, slice the lemon in half. Reserve one half for juice and cut the other half into wedges for serving.
Grill the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink, opaque, and have light grill marks. Avoid overcooking as they can become tough.
Once grilled, remove prawns from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over them.
Place prawns on a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy these flavorful, high-protein grilled prawns as a main dish or alongside your favorite salad!
