Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by peeling and deveining the prawns, leaving the tails intact. This will make them easier to handle while grilling.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
Zest the lemon, then cut it in half and juice it. You should have about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Place the prepared prawns in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Toss to ensure the prawns are well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers, 5 to 6 prawns per skewer, leaving a small space between each prawn.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns turn pink and are opaque throughout. Avoid overcooking as prawns can become tough.
Transfer the grilled prawns to a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with an extra wedge of lemon for added zest if desired.
