Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, deveined and shells removed
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spray cooking spray
- 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.
Add the prawns to the bowl and toss them gently to ensure they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, and up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat on the stovetop over medium-high heat and lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
Remove the prawns from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade.
Place the prawns on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become tough.
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your delicious low fat grilled prawns with garlic and lemon!
