Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Add the peeled and deveined prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers, if using, for easier grilling.
Grill the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery.
Remove the prawns from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the grilled prawns with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra dash of citrus, if desired.
