Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Add the prawns to the bowl and toss well, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the grill.
Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the prawns onto skewers, leaving a little space between each one for even cooking.
Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-4 minutes on each side, or until the prawns are opaque and have a nice char.
Remove the prawns from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the grilled prawns with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
